Location and surroundings
The Piz Lagrev belongs to the Lagrev group, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . It is the highest point of the mountain range between the Septimerpass in the southwest, the Julierpass in the north, the Upper Engadin in the southeast and the Oberhalbstein in the northwest. The village of Sils is located directly at the southeastern foot of the mountain , but when viewed from Maloja to the southwest, Piz Lagrev appears as an impressive rock formation. In addition to the extensive panorama from the summit in all directions, the deep view of Lake Sils is particularly remarkable. With a notch height of 856 meters, Piz Lagrev is a relatively independent mountain.
The municipality boundary runs above the summit between Surses in the northwest and Sils in the southeast. The border with Silvaplana is only 720 m northeast of the summit, at the lower summit of Piz Lagrev.
The neighboring peaks include Piz da las Coluonnas in the north, Piz Polashin in the northeast, and Piz d'Emmat Dadora , Piz d'Emmat Dadaint and Piz Materdell in the west. To the southwest of the summit is the Fuorcla Grevasalvas , in the northeast the Fuorcla Lagrev . In addition, Leg Grevasalvas and Lej Lagrev are close to the mountain.
The farthest visible point ( 44 ° 14 '3.6 " N , 7 ° 1' 23.8" O ) from Piz Lagrev is the Guglia di San Bernolfo ( 2600 m slm ) in the Italian province Cuneo ( Piedmont near) the border with the French region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and is 324 km away.
To the northeast of the north summit, the summit has a small glacier, the Vadret Lagrev .
Valley locations are Sils and Bivio . Frequent starting point is the Julier Pass.
