Piz Turettas, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Turettas is a mountain of the Ortler Alps in the Umbrail group, in the canton of Graubünden. Its west summit reaches 2,963 m and its east summit 2,958 m. It lies between the Val Müstair to the north and the Val Mora to the south, in the municipality of Val Müstair, and is usually climbed from Fuldera (T2 in summer).

The summit has long served as a geographical marker between the various Alpine valleys in the Grisons region. Its position established it as a natural reference point for boundaries between neighboring areas.

The name Piz Turettas comes from the Romansh language still spoken in the Grisons region today. In this area, mountain names commonly start with 'Piz', reflecting a tradition woven into local identity.

The ascent requires proper mountaineering equipment and a weather check before setting out on the hike. Visitors should consider the season and possible snow coverage to ensure safe conditions during the outing.

Piz Turettas has two summits: the west summit reaches 2,963 m and the east summit 2,958 m, so the higher point lies on the Val Mora side. The usual ascent starts at Fuldera and is rated T2 in summer, a marked mountain-hiking route rather than a climb.
