Its original name in the Romansh language is "Piz Buin Grand". A similar but smaller summit nearby is called "Piz Buin Pitschen" at 3,255 m (10,680 ft). Piz Buin was first climbed on 14 July 1865 by Joseph Anton Specht and Johann Jakob Weilenmann, guided by Jakob Pfitscher and Franz Pöll. Piz Buin Pitschen was climbed three years later.
