Location and surroundings

Aerial view from the Büelenhorn

The Büelenhorn belongs to the Monsteiner chain, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Davos and Bergün Filisur runs above the summit . The Büelenhorn is bordered in the south by the Val da Stugl, a side valley of the Albula valley , and in the north by the Landwassertal .

The main ridge stretches from the Stulsergrat in the west over the summit to the Mäschengrat in the east. A wide ridge begins a little to the west of the peak and continues to the north. The ridge is hardly noticed in mountaineering.

The neighboring peaks include the Gipshorn in the east, the Piz Prosonch in the south and the Muchetta in the west.

The valley locations are Bergün and Monstein.
