Piz Piot

Piz Piot reaches an elevation of 3053 meters and features two distinct peaks, with the main southeast summit standing higher than its northwest counterpart at 3037 meters.

The mountain's location in the Rhaetian Alps has made it a subject of botanical research since the 1800s, contributing to studies of plant species distribution in alpine environments.

The name Piz Piot reflects the multilingual heritage of the Grisons canton, where Romansh, German, and Italian influences shape the regional mountain nomenclature.

Access to Piz Piot starts from Juf village at 2124 meters, requiring a combination of RHB-railway transport from Chur to Thusis, followed by a post bus connection.

The mountain's position at the end of Avers Valley creates different climbing conditions between its two summits, offering varied routes for winter ski tours and summer ascents.
