The Lenzer Horn or Lenzerhorn ( 2906  m above sea level ) is a mountain southeast of the Lenzerheide in the canton of Graubünden ( Switzerland ). Thanks to its free-standing location, you have an excellent panoramic view of Lenzerheide and Oberhalbstein from the summit .

Location and surroundings

The Lenzer Horn belongs to the Lenzer Horn-Erzhorn chain, a subgroup of the plural pen . The municipal boundary between Lantsch / Lenz and Albula / Alvra runs above the summit . The Lenzer Horn is bordered in the southeast by the Albula valley and in the west by the Lenzerheide valley. It forms a striking rock and rubble pyramid with three main ridges: the north-west ridge, which rises from the forests east of the Lenzerheide, the north-east ridge, which slopes down to Piz Mosch, and the south ridge, which connects to Piz Linard.

The neighboring peaks include the Parpaner Rothorn , the Aroser Rothorn and the Pizza Naira in the north, Piz Mosch and Piz Mulain in the east and the Piz Linard in the south.

To the west you have a wide view of the Valais and Bernese Alps, such as the Finsteraarhorn and the Aletschhorn, 125 km away . The most distant visible point ( 48 ° 13 ′ 0.4 ″  N , 9 ° 21 ′ 54.4 ″  E ) from Lenzer Horn is, however, in the north, near a forest in the municipality of Langenenslingen in the Biberach district in Baden-Württemberg ( Germany ) and is 169 km away.

Valley locations are the Lenzerheide , Lenz and Alvaneu .
