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 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.

[3][4] Piz Linard is located between the valleys of Val Lavinuoz (east) and Val Saglains (west), both part of the basin of the Inn river in the Engadine valley.
