The Piz digl Gurschus is a rocky ridge east of Ausserferrera in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 2880 m above sea level. M. The map lists three peaks: the east summit ( 2880 m ), the middle summit ( 2844 m ) and the west summit ( 2753 m ).
Surname
The name Gurschus probably goes back to gruscha ( Rhaeto-Romanic in the idiom Sutselvisch for mange, rash, scabies ), which was carried over to bad pasture etc. In the first edition of the guide, Piz digl Gurschus was still referred to as the gruesome one. The mountain is chopped up and crumbly and its flanks are furrowed by several gullies. The extensive scree slopes at the foot of the mountain reveal the poor quality of the rocks and make the approach difficult. The climbing in the brittle, loose rocks in many places no longer corresponds to today's taste.
