The Flüela Wisshorn ( Swiss German for Flüela Weisshorn where Flüela diminutive of Fluh , Swiss German Flueh for 'rock face, rocky area') is a mountain northeast of the Flüela Pass in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 3,085 m above sea level. M. It is the highest point in the Flüela group. From Vereina the mountain appears as a beautifully shaped pyramid, from the Flüelapassstrasse, on the other hand, you see it as an imposing, steeply rising wall with a horizontal, somewhat jagged summit ridge.
Location and surroundings
The Flüela Wisshorn belongs to the Flüela Group, a subgroup of the Silvretta . The municipal boundaries of Davos , Klosters-Serneus and Zernez meet at the summit . The Flüela Wisshorn is located at the back of the Jörital and is bordered by the Flüela valley to the west and by the Val Susasca to the south.
The neighboring peaks include the Jörihorn , the Muttelhorn and Rosställispitz , the Piz Champatsch , the Piz Radönt and the Schwarzhorn .
On the north flank, the Flüela Wisshorn has a glacier, the Jörigletscher.
The valley locations are Davos and Susch. Frequent starting points are Wägerhus on the Flüelapassstrasse, the Flüela-Ospiz or the Berghaus Vereina.
Rock fall 2019
On the night of March 19, 2019, shortly after midnight, a rock fall with more than 250,000 cubic meters of rock came off the northwest flank of the Flüela Wisshorn. The rock fall triggered a snow avalanche, which only stopped shortly before the pass road to the Flüelapass . The reason for the rock fall was probably the erosion and the melted glacier.
