 Wind station on the Piz Salteras |
||
The Piz Salteras is a mountain east of Tinizong-Rona and west of Preda in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 3111 m above sea level. M. The summit floor consists of a weakly structured slate pyramid with easy walk-Advised, so it is popular as Skigeberg. The name is derived from the Latin saltus , meaning forest or (here, on the slope above Alp d'Err) pastureland .
Location and surroundings
The Piz Salteras belongs to the Bleis Marscha group, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Surses and Bergün Filisur runs above the summit . The Piz Salteras is bordered in the west by the Val d'Err , a side valley of the Oberhalbstein , and in the east by the Val Tschitta , a side valley of the Albula valley.
The neighboring peaks include Piz Val Lunga ( 3,078 m ) and Piz Ela ( 3,339 m ) in the north, as well as Piz da l'Antgierna da Salteras ( 2982 m ), Piz da Peder Bucs ( 3002 m ) and Piz Bleis Marscha ( 3128 m ) in the south.
Valley locations are Tinizong and Preda. Frequent starting points are the Alp d'Err and Naz .
Wind station
On the summit of Piz Salteras there is one of 160 wind stations of the Intercantonal Measurement and Information System (IMIS) . The system is operated in cooperation with the federal government, cantons, municipalities, the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and other interest groups. The associated snow station is located near the Fuorcla da Tschitta , at 2725 m above sea level. M. The wind station measures wind speed (mean and peak), wind direction, air temperature and relative humidity every half hour. The avalanche warning service and safety officers throughout Switzerland are thus provided with the latest information from remote and / or inaccessible areas. The data can be viewed on the SLF website.
