Piz Linard
Piz Linard is a pyramid-shaped mountain of the Swiss Alps. At 3,410 m it is the highest peak of the Silvretta mountain range. It was first climbed on August 1, 1835, by the geologist and natural history, naturalist Oswald Heer led by Johann Madutz. There is a legend that a man of name "Chounard" reached the summit in 1572 carrying a large golden cross; however, the cross has never been found.
