Location and surroundings
The Fuorcla Curtegns belongs to the Forbesch-Arblatsch massif, a sub-group of the Oberhalbsteiner Alps . The municipal boundary between Surses and Ferrera runs over the pass . It is the transition from the Val Curtegns ( Savognin , Radons in the Val Nandro ) to the Val Gronda ( Mulegns , Tga in the Val Faller ). The main watershed between Surses and Avers runs only around 50 m west of the pass, which is why the Fuorcla Curtegns is also the transition from the Val Gronda to the Val Starlera ( Innerferrera in the Averstal ).
The Fuorcla Curtegns connects the Piz Cagniel ( 2975 m ) in the northeast with the Usser Wissberg ( 3052 m ) in the southwest.
