Piz d'Agnel, Alpine summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz d'Agnel is a 3,204 m summit in the Err group of the Albula Alps, on the border between Surses and Bever above Bivio and the Marmorera lake. Its main peak is a slender rock pyramid dropping steeply to the east, with a broad north-west ridge; three further unnumbered summits line up to the east and the south ridge runs to the Piz Campagnung. The Vadret d'Agnel glacier lies on the north-east flank.

Ludwig Theobald made the first recorded ascent in August 1861, via the Fuorcla da Flix and the northwest slope. The peak lies on the municipal boundary between Surses and Bever, in the Err group of the Albula Alps. Its main summit is a slender rock pyramid dropping steeply eastward, with a broad northwest ridge; three further unmarked summits line the east side and the south ridge runs to Piz Campagnung.

The name comes from Romansh: in the Puter idiom, agnè (plural agnels) means "lamb", so Piz d'Agnel is the "peak of the lambs". Piz, the Romansh word for peak, recurs in the names of neighbouring summits such as Piz Campagnung and Piz Neir. The mountain rises above Bivio, where Romansh is still spoken.

Summer routes reach the summit via the Fuorcla da Flix (3,065 m) from the Jenatschhütte (2,652 m) in about 2 hours, or from the Julierpass road (2,200 m) in about 3½ hours; the east ridge via the Fuorcla d'Agnel is rated ZS with no solid rock. Winter ascents from the Jenatschhütte take about 2 hours (WS+), and the ski descent to Bivio or Marmorera through the Val da Natons demands safe snow conditions and attention to avalanche danger.

The first recorded ascent was by Ludwig Theobald in August 1861, via the Fuorcla da Flix (3065 m) and the northwest slope. The normal route still follows that line, taking about two hours from the Jenatschhütte (2652 m) and 3½ hours from the Julierpass road (2200 m).
