Igl Compass, Mountain summit in Albula Region, Switzerland
Igl Compass rises to an elevation of 3,016 meters, featuring dark Lias slate formations and multiple climbing routes from different starting points.
The mountain stands as a geographical marker between the municipalities of Bergün/Bravuogn and La Punt Chamues-ch, with the border running 87 meters east of the peak.
The name derives from Romansh language, with 'Igl' meaning 'the' in the regional dialect spoken throughout the Albula valley.
Three main hiking paths converge at Fuorcla Zavretta before reaching the summit, with the western approach classified as difficulty level T2.
The geological composition includes deformed fossils of belemnites and ammonites embedded within the mountain's dark slate structure.
