Piz Ault, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Ault is a summit in the Glarus Alps standing at 3027 meters, defined by three main ridges that converge at its northeastern peak. These ridges create the mountain's distinctive profile and shape its physical structure.
This mountain has served as the historical border between Canton Uri and Canton Graubünden since medieval times. The peak marked a natural boundary during early territorial divisions of the region.
Local mountaineering traditions incorporate Piz Ault into winter sports activities, particularly through the established ski infrastructure from the Disentis resort.
A T-bar ski lift provides winter access to within about 200 meters of the peak, while summer ascents lack marked hiking routes. Visitors should consider seasonal conditions and weather, as winter access is more developed than alternatives.
Four ridges converge at this peak, with the southern ridge notably less prominent than the others. This unusual formation adds complexity to the mountain's appearance and challenges climbers in unexpected ways.
