Piz Surgonda

Piz Surgonda, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Surgonda is a mountain of the Albula Alps north of the Julier Pass, on the ridge between the Val d'Agnel and the Val Bever. Its higher eastern summit, a mound of scree and rock, reaches 3,196 m; the western summit, 400 m away, is a short rock ridge with two nearly equal points at 3,193 m. A glacier, the Vadret Traunter Ovas, lies on its north flank.

The mountain lies on the range between the Val d'Agnel and the Val Bever, and the ridge carries the municipal boundary between Surses and Bever; the boundary with Silvaplana meets the fore-summit at 3,160 m. Bivio is the valley base, and the Julier Pass road and the Chamanna Jenatsch (2,652 m) are the usual starting points for routes to the summit.

The name is Romansh: sur means "above" and gonda "scree slope", describing the rubble and rock crest of the two summits. The ridge carries the municipal boundary between Surses and Bever, and the summit is a popular ski touring peak because of its view.

The climb starts from a parking area near the Julier Pass and follows marked trails to the summit, taking around three hours for most climbers. The route requires sure-footedness on rocky terrain and is best tackled during stable weather conditions.

The two summits are 400 metres apart, and the higher eastern one is a debris and rock-scree knoll, while the western one is a rocky ridge crest with two neighbouring rises of equal height. The name comes from Romansh sur, "above", and gonda, "scree slope".
