The Piz Surgonda ( Rhaeto-Romanic sur for 'over' and gonda for ' scree / scree') is a mountain north of the Julier Pass in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland . A rubble and craggy crest forms the higher east summit ( 3196 m above sea level ) and a rocky ridge with two neighboring elevations of the same height forms the west summit 400 m away ( 3193 m above sea level ). Because of the view it is a popular ski touring mountain.
Location and surroundings
The Piz Surgonda belongs to the Güglia and Bever group , a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Surses and Bever runs over the ridge . The municipal boundary to Silvaplana is at the pre-summit ( 3160 m above sea level ), 322 m southeast of the east summit. The Piz Surgonda is bordered in the south by the Val d'Agnel and in the north by the Val Bever.
The neighboring peaks include Piz Traunter Ovas in the north, Corn Suvretta in the east, Piz Julier in the south-east, Piz Valletta and Corn Alv in the south, Piz Bardella and Piz Campagnung in the south-west, Piz d'Agnel in the west and Tschima da Flix and Piz Picuogl in the northwest.
On the northern flank, the Piz Surgonda has a glacier, the Vadret Traunter Ovas .
Talort is Bivio. Frequent starting points are the Julier Pass and the Chamanna Jenatsch .
