Piz da la Margna

Piz da la Margna reaches an elevation of 3,159 meters within the Bernina Range, presenting steep faces that overlook Lake Sils in eastern Switzerland.

The mountain registered its first documented climb in June 1857 when a group of four mountaineers, including J. Caviezel, Krättli, Robbi, and Zaun, reached the summit.

The mountain incorporates Romansh language in its name, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the Grisons canton where multiple languages intersect in daily life.

Climbers can access the summit through the east flank route from Maloja, with additional paths available through Val Fedoz during the summer months.

The southeast ridge from Fuorcla da la Margna demands technical climbing skills, featuring a grade IV difficulty that requires precise navigation through exposed sections.
