The Älplihorn is 3006 m above sea level. M. high mountain between Monstein and Sertig in the Albula Alps in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . The horn culminates in two points that are separated by a small notch. Because of the extensive view, it is often visited in both summer and winter.
Location and surroundings
The Älplihorn belongs to the Monsteiner chain, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . Neighboring mountains in the north are the Leidbachhorn ( 2908 m above sea level ), Marchhüreli ( 2578 m above sea level ), and Rinerhorn ( 2528.1 m above sea level ). The Chrachenhorn ( 2891 m above sea level ) joins in the south . In the east, immediately below the mountain, is the village of Sertig Dörfli , in the west, Monstein . The Älplihorn is located entirely in the municipality of Landschaft Davos .
Snow station
One of the 160 snow stations of the Intercantonal Measurement and Information System (IMIS) is located south of the summit, at 2558 m on a plain in Bärentälli . The system is operated in cooperation with the federal government, cantons, municipalities, the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and other interest groups. The associated wind station is located on the Chrachenhorn at 2891 m above sea level. M. The snow station measures the air temperature, surface temperature of the snowpack, temperature within the snowpack, temperature of the ground, wind speed (medium and peak), wind direction, relative humidity, snow depth and reflected short-wave radiation every half hour. The avalanche warning service and safety officers throughout Switzerland are thus provided with the latest information from remote and / or inaccessible areas. The data can be viewed on the SLF website.
Routes to the summit
Summer routes
The southeast flank, which is traversed by inclined bands, is very prone to falling rocks and is therefore not recommended.
Over the south ridge
- Starting point: Monstein ( 1626 m ) or Sand ( 1859 m )
- Via: Bärentällifurgga ( 2745 m ) to the union with the Mitteltallenrat, then to the south summit. From the south summit to the main summit you climb down through a short chimney in the west side, cross a bit to the west of the ridge edge and then climb back onto the ridge.
- From Monstein on the Alpstrasse to Oberalp ( 1913 m ) and on the marked mountain path to the little lake at 2446 m . Then turn left into Bärentälli to Bärentällifurgga (you can also go up the scree slope at the small lake at 2637 m to the north).
- From Sand to Grossalp ( 1882 m ), then along the path to Alpli ( 2375 m ) and steeply up to Bärentällifurgga.
- 3¾ hours from Monstein
- 3¼ hours of sand
Through the middle valley
