geology
The Piz Beverin belongs together with the Splügener Kalkberge to the Schamserdecke and is of Penninic origin.

The pubic cover was pushed onto the underlying Bündner slate when the Alps were folded .
fauna
Wolves
The wolf pack on Piz Beverin had 2019 includes early October, two parents and a total of nine pups. At the same time, the canton of Graubünden ordered the herd to be regulated, as one parent had torn at least 15 goats from protected flocks.

history
Origin of the name
The name Beverin comes from "bovarinum", which in turn is derived from the Latin "bos" (cattle, ox). Thus the Beverin is the "Ochsenberg".
First ascent
Most of the routes are not known to have climbed the first time.
Routes to the summit
Piz Beverin can be reached via various easy (mountain hiking trails) to fairly difficult routes. The mountain is a popular ski and snowboard tour destination. It is usually approached from the Glaspass , from Mathon GR or from Wergenstein .
Summer routes
Through the west flank
The path is marked, steep and partly exposed. He is tricky in ice and wet conditions. The route is ice-free from around mid-June.
- Difficulty: T4 (marked white-blue-white)
- Time required: 3.5 hours from the Glaspass (1,846 m)
- Starting point: Glaspass (1,846 m)
Over the southern slope
Technically the easiest. Leads over the white-red-white marked mountain hiking trail to the Beverin gap. From there on the same route as through the western flank.
- Difficulty: T3 (marked white-red-white)
- Time required: 3 hours from Alp Tumpriv (2,114 m)
- Starting point: Mathon GR (1'547 m)
Over the southeast ridge
About the Beverin Pintg. The route is also accessible in winter and leads over a six meter high ladder.
