Piz Danis, Mountain summit in Graubünden, Switzerland

Piz Danis is a mountain in the Plessur Alps in Graubunden, reaching roughly 2,500 meters in height. The peak has steep slopes and several hiking paths that cross its terrain.

Piz Danis is documented in the SAC guide Ringelspitz/Arosa/Rätikon by Manfred Hunziker (2010 edition, page 276), which describes the mountain and its routes. The surrounding slopes are served by the Auarara and Fadail ski lifts, which link to the Pedra Grossa chairlift, and by the Piz Gertrud ski lift that climbs to just below the Danis summit ridge.

The name Danis is shared with the Danis ridge just below the summit, where the Piz Gertrud ski lift ends. In winter the Auarara and Fadail lifts feed the Pedra Grossa chairlift, which covers about 450 metres of height to Alp Nova at 1980 m in five minutes.

The summit is reached on marked hiking trails of grade T2 from several sides. In winter, the Auarara and Fadail ski lifts lead to the Pedra Grossa chairlift, which covers about 450 metres of height to Alp Nova at 1980 metres in five minutes; the Piz Gertrud ski lift runs to just below the Danis summit ridge.

Piz Danis lies 1.8 km from the Stätzerhorn (Piz Danis is 2,497 m). In winter the Piz Gertrud ski lift runs to just below the Danis summit, and the Auarara and Fadail lifts feed the Pedra Grossa chairlift, which climbs about 450 m to Alp Nova (1,980 m) in five minutes.
