Piz Bernina (4,049 m) is the highest mountain of the Eastern Alps. It is also the furthest easterly mountain higher than 4,000 m in the Alps, the highest point of the Graubünden canton of Switzerland, and the fifth most prominent peak in the Alps. Although the mountain straddles the Swiss-Italian border, the highest summit is entirely on Swiss territory.

First Ascent

The mountain takes its name from the pass and was given in 1850 by Johann Coaz, who made the first ascent with J. R. Tscharner and L. R. Tscharner via the Labyrinth, Sass dal Pos and the east ridge.
