The Chüpfenflue (from the Swiss German word Chüpfe for mountain top or mountain peak and Fluh for rocks , ledge , rock face , rock peaks ) is a mountain between the tourist destinations Davos and Arosa in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland at an altitude of 2658  m above sea level. M.

Location and surroundings

The Chüpfenflue belongs to the Strela chain , a mountain range of the plural Alps . It is also one of the Arosa Dolomites . As with the other Arosa Dolomites, its summit is devoid of vegetation, sloping towards the northwest (towards Arosa ) in crags and scree slopes, and towards the southeast (towards Davos ) in structured rock faces. The municipal boundary of the municipalities of Davos and Arosa runs along it. The Chüpfenflue is bordered in the north by the main valley and in the west by the Chüpfer Tälli. Both valleys belong to the Sapün high valley , a side valley of the Schanfigg . The southeast ridge separates the troughs from Vorder- and Hinter Latschüel (both Landwassertal ).

The neighboring peaks include the Haupter Horn in the north, the Strela in the northeast, the Wannengrat and the Chörbsch Horn in the south, and the Mederger Flue in the southwest.

The valley locations are Davos, Langwies and Arosa. Frequent starting points are the Schatzalp and Medergen .

Routes to the summit

Nothing is known from alpine literature about ascents through the north and west faces, although there are undoubtedly not very difficult ( WS ) routes to be found in these faces.
