The Piz Rims ( 3,067  m above sea level ) is a summit in the Sesvenna group on the border between Switzerland and Italy . It is located northeast of S-charl in the Lower Engadine and southwest of the Schlinig Pass , the end of the Schlinig Valley in South Tyrol's Vinschgau . The summit is not particularly independent, because the connecting ridge to the higher Piz Cristanas ( 3,092  m above sea level ) , a little more than half a kilometer to the west, is nowhere below the 3,000-meter mark.

Location and surroundings

The Piz Rims is part of the mountain range north of the Val Sesvenna and is the second highest peak there after the Piz Cristanas. The conical, limestone summit stands conspicuously in the west of the uppermost Schlinig valley . The highest point of the Piz Rims at 3,067  m above sea level. M. is entirely on Swiss territory; the secondary peak, about 100 meters to the east, at 3050  m above sea level. M. is exactly on the border. These two peaks together with other, smaller elevations form a peculiar looking crater in the summit area.

To the northeast of Piz Rim is the Schlinigpass, the transition from the Schlinig Valley in Vinschgau to the Val d'Uina in the Lower Engadine . Less than four kilometers north of the summit, above the Val d'Uina, is a summit, also known as “ Piz Rims ”, which is 2773  m above sea level. M. has.

Ascent

The usual ascent is from the east, from the Fuorcla Sesvenna ( 2819  m above sea level ), with the crossing of the Schadler ( 2948  m above sea level ). The ascent is not difficult , from the Schadler to Piz Rims you lose less than 50 meters in height. The Fuorcla Sesvenna can be reached on the one hand from the South Tyrolean side through the Schlinigtal and over the Sesvennahütte , on the other hand from the Lower Engadine of S-charl through the Val Sesvenna . It takes about three hours to get to the summit from the Sesvennahütte and four hours from S-charl.
