The Fuorcla Grevasalvas ( Rhaeto-Romanic fuorcla, furschela from the Latin furcula for 'small fork, small mountain passage' and Grevasalvas a composition of the Rhaeto-Romanic words greva for 'fine scree', ' scree slope ' and alv from the Latin albus for 'white') is a Alpine pass in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . The pass with a peak height of 2687 m above sea level. M. is located south of the Julier Pass and north of Lake Sils .
Location and surroundings
The Fuorcla Grevasalvas belongs to the Lagrev group, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Surses and Sils in Engadin / Segl runs over the pass . It is the only passage over the mountain range of any practical importance.
The Fuorcla Grevasalvas is bordered in the north by the Grevasalvas basin from the Oberhalbstein and in the south by the Upper Engadine and connects the Piz d'Emmat Dadaint ( 2928 m ) in the west with the Piz Lagrev ( 3162 m ) in the northeast.
With the same name as the pass, the small summer settlement Grevasalvas is located south of the pass . The 26-part children's series Heidi was produced in Grevasalvas in 1978 , which is based very closely on the novels Heidi's apprenticeship and wandering years and Heidi can use what it has learned from Johanna Spyri . In addition, north of Fuorcla Grevasalvas is the Leg Grevasalvas mountain lake in the Grevasalvas basin and the Piz Grevasalvas mountain ( 2932 m ) southeast of the pass .
The main European watershed runs over the pass, separating the inlet to the open Atlantic in the north (Eva Cheda, Gelgia , Albula , Hinterrhein , Rhein ) from the inlet to the Black Sea in the south (Ova da la Roda, Inn , Danube ).
