Piz Tschierva

Piz Tschierva (3,545 m) is a mountain in the Bernina Range of the Alps, located south of Pontresina in the canton of Graubünden. It lies in the range that separates the valley of Roseg from the valley of Morteratsch, north of Piz Bernina. Its summit is located within the valley of Roseg.

Piz Tschierva lies between two glaciers named Vadret da Misaun (north) and Vadrettin da Tschierva (south). The much larger Tschierva Glacier is located at the southern foot of the mountain.
