Piz Surgonda

Piz Surgonda rises to an elevation of 3,196 meters in the Albula Alps, featuring both eastern and western summits connected by a rocky ridge.

The mountain stands along ancient trading routes through the Alps, where merchants traversed the Julier Pass between northern and southern European regions for centuries.

The name Piz Surgonda reflects the multilingual heritage of the Grisons canton, where Romansh, German, and Italian languages intersect in geographical nomenclature.

Climbers can access the mountain from the Julier Pass parking area at 2,205 meters, following marked trails that require approximately three hours to reach the summit.

The mountain presents two distinct summits of nearly identical height, with the eastern peak measuring 3,196 meters and the western peak reaching 3,193 meters.
