The Piz Roseg ( ) is a prominent free-standing mountain above the Val Roseg of the Bernina group in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland .
description
The main summit , 3937 m high, is separated from the pre-summit ( 3918 m , also known as the snow dome ), a little more than 300 meters to the northwest, by a pronounced saddle. In the east the Piz Roseg is through the 3522 m high Forcella da Roseg Porta from Piz Scerscen separately. The ridge between the main summit and Porta da Roseg carries the 3868 m high summit of Piccolo Roseg .
The ice masses of Piz Roseg flow off in three large glaciers :
- Vadret da Tschierva in the north
- Vadret da la Sella / Vadret da Roseg in the west
- Vadretta di Scerscen superiore in the southeast
The state border between Switzerland and Italy runs from the Porta da Roseg over the east ridge near the main summit, but turns 70 meters in front of it over the Sellagrat to the southwest. The main summit is entirely in Switzerland.
The mountain, which was first climbed in 1865 by Adolphus Warburton Moore , Horace Walker and Jakob Anderegg , is most easily reached from Pontresina through the Val Roseg ( Roseg Valley). Today's normal route to the summit with a level of difficulty ZS - the SAC mountain and high-altitude tour scale follows the north ridge, also known as Esels- or Middlemoregrat, called la crasta in Romansh . Numerous challenging ice climbs lead through the heavily glaciated north-east face. Christian Klucker and Ludwig Norman-Neruda achieved the first successful ascent of this ice flank on June 16, 1890 in just 5½ hours. On July 4, 1977, the well-known South Tyrolean steep face skier Heini Holzer fell to his death here at the age of only 32 while attempting to ski for the first time.
With the Chamanna da Tschierva , which lies at an altitude of 2583 m above the Tschierva Glacier, and the 2610 m high Chamanna Coaz in the rearmost Roseg Valley, two SAC huts are available as alpine bases.
