The Piz Starlex is 3075 m above sea level. M. high mountain in the Sesvenna group . The summit is exactly on the border between Italy and Switzerland or South Tyrol and Graubünden . The large summit cross stands about 300 meters south of the actual summit at an altitude of 3066 m above sea level. M. on a large plateau.
Location and surroundings
The partly Swiss, partly Italian Münstertal stretches south of the mountain, and the Swiss Val S-charl to the northwest . In a northerly direction the Piz Starlex is 2296 m above sea level. M. Hohe S-charljoch separated from Piz Sesvenna . With a notch height of 779 meters, the Piz Starlex is a relatively independent mountain.
Routes to the summit
The easiest ascent begins in the Avignatal (a side valley of the Münstertal), from where a marked trail leads first over meadows, then over the southeast ridge of the mountain and finally through a scree gully to the plateau with the summit cross. Shortly before the summit ridge, a climbing point of difficulty level I has to be mastered. The overall level of difficulty is T4 . The transition to the highest point is pathless, but not more difficult than the previous path. Another possible route of roughly the same level of difficulty begins in Lü . From there you can reach the Val Costainas high valley south of the Piz Starlex via hiking trails . Then it goes on without a path over the Fuorcla Starlex and finally in a northerly direction until you meet the marked path again at the foot of the scree channel. With this variant you have to cover a little less altitude compared to the first, but the distance is longer.
