Las Sours ( Rhaeto-Romanic , from the Latin soror for 'The Sisters') is a mountain with double peaks east of Pontresina in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland . The west summit has a height of 2978 m above sea level. M. , the main summit is 3007 m high. In the SAC club guide the heights are given as 3008 m and 3038 m , which is probably a mistake, as P. 3038 is on the northwest ridge of Piz Muragl.
The Sours are often climbed due to the proximity to the Muottas Muragl and Alp Languard mountain stations .
