Piz Chaschauna

Piz Chaschauna rises to an elevation of 3,071 meters, featuring steep rocky slopes and two distinct summits along the border between Switzerland and Italy.

The mountain's first recorded ascent occurred in the early twentieth century, marking the beginning of documented mountaineering activities in this section of the Alps.

The mountain's dual naming as Piz Chaschauna and Pizzo Casana reflects the linguistic diversity of the Swiss-Italian border region where it stands.

Climbers access the mountain from Ponte Calcheira at 1,859 meters, requiring approximately 4.5 hours to reach the summit through technical rocky sections.

The northern slope forms part of the Swiss National Park while the eastern side belongs to Stelvio National Park in Lombardy, Italy.
