Sassal Mason, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Sassal Mason is a mountain summit in the Bernina Range that reaches 3,032 meters in height. From this peak, you can see the Lago Bianco and the Bernina Pass road spread out below in the alpine landscape.
The mountain formed through geological processes that shaped the alpine landscape over millions of years. In the 19th century, geologists studied the mineral and rock formations found in this area.
The mountain stands at the intersection of three linguistic regions, where local residents communicate in Swiss-German, Italian, and the ancient Romansh language.
Hiking trails lead from Pontresina to the Sassal Mason mountain hotel at 2,355 meters, where you can stay overnight and eat. The hotel serves as a good base for exploring the surrounding peaks and valleys.
The peak sits in a location where you can watch red Bernina Express trains pass through the alpine valley below. This railway line connects the valley communities with the high mountain passes.
