Bifertenstock

The Bifertenstock, or Romansh: Piz Durschin), is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located at an elevation of 3,419 m (11,217 ft) on the border between the cantons of Glarus (north) and Grisons (Graubünden, south); its peak, however, is located about 25 metres (82 ft) south of the border. It overlooks four valleys: the valley of the Biferten Glacier to the north-west, the Griess Glacier to the north-east, the Val Punteglias to the south, which leads down to Trun, and the Val Frisal on the south-east. Glaciers cover both sides of the mountain, but are smaller on the southern side. The mountain lies in the municipalities of Trun and Breil/Brigels, in the canton of Grisons, and Glarus Süd, in the canton of Glarus. The nearest settlements are the villages of Trun, to the south, and Linthal, to the north.
