The massif of Piz Vial consists of several summits (from west to east): Piz Valdraus (3,096 metres, northernmost point of Ticino), Piz Gaglianera (3,121 metres), Piz Vial and Piz Greina (3,124 metres). The northern crest of Piz Vial separates two glaciers, Glatscher da Valdraus on the west and another smaller glacier on the east.
