The Piz Signina is the eponymous summit of the Signina group in the Adula Alps in Switzerland . The highest peak in the group is Piz Fess ( 2874 m ). On Piz Signina, rugged rock faces fall into the Safien Valley in the east and steep scree slopes and gorges towards Riein in the Val Lumnezia in the west .
The name is derived from the former Walser settlement Signina , which is located at the west foot of the Piz Signinas in Val Lumnezia.
Access
The Piz Signina is climbed from Safien Platz / Zalöner Hütta via the Güner Lückli ( 2470 m ) and the Günerhorn (T5 SAC hiking scale ).
