Piz Segnas is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden. Piz Sardona is on the same ridge to the north, from where the Trinserhorn or Piz Dolf lies to the southeast. The Tschingelhoerner with the famous Martinsloch (hole of St.Martin) is next to the west. The easiest access to the area is an aerial cableway to Fil de Cassons from Flims or the hike to this ridge lying southeast of Piz Segnas.[2]
Plane Crash
On 4 August 2018, a Junkers Ju-52 aircraft, operating a sightseeing flight, crashed into the western flank of the mountain, killing all 20 persons aboard.[3]
