Piz Polaschin

Piz Polaschin rises to 3,013 meters in elevation within the Albula Alps, offering views across the Engadin Valley and Lake Silvaplana below.

The mountain became a reference point for Swiss cartographers during the 19th century, contributing to the detailed mapping of the Grisons canton.

Local mountain guides from Silvaplana maintain traditional routes to the summit, passing knowledge of safe passages through generations.

Access to Piz Polaschin requires technical climbing equipment, with the most direct route starting from the Julier Pass parking area.

The mountain stands at the intersection of three valleys, creating specific wind patterns that make it a natural weather indicator for local residents.
