Location and surroundings
_Spherical_Panorama.jpg)
The Älplihorn is one of the central Plessurberge, a subgroup of the Plessuralpen. From the western summit of the Parpaner Rothorn a mountain range runs northwards towards the Prader Joch. From this ridge line, several side chains branch off one after the other to the northeast. A southernmost and only rudimentary side chain runs from the eastern summit of the Parpaner Rothorn directly to the Älplihorn. The summit can be climbed effortlessly and safely via this connecting ridge.
The Älplihorn is located in the area of the municipality of Arosa . In the west the mountain is bordered by the Totälpli, in the northwest by the Gredigs Älpli, in the northeast by the Schafälpli and in the east by the ore soils. The valley in the south is not named on the national map .
The neighboring peaks include the Parpaner Rothorn in the southwest, the Parpaner Weisshorn and the Tschirpen in the north, the Aroser Rothorn in the south and Erzhorn , Gamschtällihorn , Älpliseehorn and Schaftällihorn in the east.
The most distant visible point ( 48 ° 19 ′ 51.7 ″ N , 9 ° 11 ′ 11.9 ″ E ) from the Älplihorn is located at Castle Hölnstein , east of Stetten unter Holstein in Burladingen ( Baden-Württemberg ) and is 179 km away.
To the north of the Älplihorn is the Totseeli at 2393 m , to the east of it the Älplisee at 2155 m . The Plessur rises at the foot of the Älplihorn.
The valley location is Arosa. Frequent starting point of the Parpaner Rothorn.
Ore mining
As on the Aroser Rothorn , the Erzhorn and the Tschirpen , iron ore and other mineral resources were mined on the Älplihorn in the Middle Ages and smelted in the smelting furnaces in the Isel below Arosa.
