The Oberhalbsteiner Alps are a mountain group near Avers . The AVE uses the name Plattagruppe synonymously for this area . According to SOIUSA , they are referred to as the Platta Alps or, based on the SAC guide “Avers”, also called Avers mountains . The area is bounded in the north from Splügenpass to Thusis by the Hinterrhein and to Tiefencastel by the Albula and in the east by the Julia up to the Septimer . The western and southern borders form the Liro and the Maira up to the confluence in Chiavenna . The highest point in the region is the Piz Platta ( 3392  m above sea level ). He is named for the alpine club section "Piz Platta SAC" of the area.

Geologically, the entire area (Suretta cover) belongs to the Penninic and not to the Eastern Alps and is assigned to the Adula Alps from this perspective . By dividing the Alps on the Splügen in two into Eastern and Western Alps, this thematic summary was dissolved. The SAC guide Bündner Alpen 3 "Avers" describes the entire area between the Septimer Pass and the San Bernardino Pass .

In the north the Plessur Alps , in the east the Albula Alps , in the south the Bernina Alps , in the west the Tambogroup and in the northwest the Adula Alps meet this mountain group.
