The Piz Arblatsch (probably from the Latin albuluceus , a derivation of albus for white ) is a mountain west of Mulegns in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with a height of 3203  m above sea level. M. It forms the opposite pole of Piz Forbesch ( 3261.8  m ), which appears from most angles as the northern culmination of the massif . Thanks to its dominance , Piz Arblatsch offers an exceptional view of the Bernese and Valais Alps ( Schreckhorn , Eiger , Mönch , Finsteraarhorn , Dom or the border summit 147.64 km away ) , especially to the west . The summit is surrounded by several almost equally high rock heads (see gallery).

The Piz Arblatsch is the namesake of the Forbesch-Arblatsch massif , a subgroup of the Oberhalbsteiner Alps . The municipal boundaries between Riom-Parsonz , Mulegns and Savognin met at the summit ; today the mountain lies entirely within the territory of the municipality of Surses . The Piz Arblatsch is bordered in the south by the Val Faller , in the northeast by the Val da Livizung and in the west by the Val Curtegns , a side valley of the Val Nandro . All valleys are side valleys of the Oberhalbstein .

The neighboring peaks include the Piz Arlos , the Piz Spegnas , the Piz Forbesch and the Piz Mez .

The farthest visible point ( 44 ° 14 '2.1 "  N , 7 ° 12' 47.5"  O ) is from Piz Arblatsch the Rocca Pan PERDU, 31 km south west of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont , just before the border with France and is 316 km away. From Piz Arblatsch it is located in a south-south-west direction, immediately to the left of Piz Forbesch.

The valley location is Mulegns. Common starting points are radons and tga.
