Piz Grevasalvas, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Grevasalvas is a mountain summit in the Albula Alps located between Julier Pass and Lake Sils, sitting within the broader range that defines the surrounding landscape. The peak rises above surrounding terrain and offers access to trails that wind through rocky mountain country.
The mountain sat near ancient trade routes that crossed the Julier Pass, guiding merchants and travelers through the Alps since Roman times. These paths shaped the region's role in connecting northern and southern Europe.
The summit marks a meeting point of three watersheds, distributing water to major European rivers: the Rhine, Inn, and Po, connecting different cultural regions.
You can start hiking from Plaun dal Lej or Maloja and follow marked trails that cross rocky mountain terrain on the way up. The route is walkable in fair conditions but expect elevation changes and bring appropriate footwear or climbing gear.
The mountain slopes have sparse vegetation that opens up unobstructed views of the Bernina Group and Lake Sils during the climb. This exposed landscape makes it easy to see across the range and surrounding lakes.
