Piz Vatgira, Mountain summit in Graubünden, Switzerland

Piz Vatgira rises to an elevation of 2,982 meters in the Lepontine Alps, featuring a small glacier on its eastern slope that flows into Lai Verd lake.

The mountain stands above the Gotthard Base Tunnel, which was constructed in 2016 to connect northern and southern Switzerland through the Saint-Gotthard Massif.

The name Vatgira derives from Romansh, the fourth national language of Switzerland, reflecting the linguistic traditions of the Graubünden canton.

Climbers can access Piz Vatgira from Sedrun, with optimal hiking conditions occurring during summer months when the snow cover reduces on mountain trails.

The summit marks the highest point above the Gotthard Base Tunnel, where trains pass 2,450 meters beneath the mountain surface in the world's deepest railway tunnel.
