The Rasass peak (also Rasaß (er) peak and Piz Rasass ) is a 2941  m slm high summit of the Sesvenna group in South Tyrol . As an alternative and ice-free destination in the touring area of ​​the Sesvennahütte and due to its extensive panorama, climbing it is particularly popular from Schlinig .

Location and surroundings

The surrounding peaks are the Griankopf ( 2896  m ) in the north, the (Inner) Seebödenspitze ( 2859  m ) in the east. To the south the summit drops to the extensive plateau of the Schlinigpass ( 2309  m ). The southeast ridge of the mountain bears the Vernungkopf ( 2870  m ) as an independent elevation . The ridge shoulder of the Hahnenkamm / Craist 'Ota ( 2884  m ), on which the state border to the Swiss canton of Graubünden runs, is pushed forward into the Uina valley . The summit is in the municipal areas of Mals and Graun in Vinschgau . In Kar east embedded the mountain, located on 2698  m of Rasass Lake , which has a particularly high concentration of metal. The cause is believed to be the thawing of a rock glacier .

Surname

The name comes from the Alpine Romance language and can be traced back to the Latin supra saxum ("above the rock [towering]"). This is the impression given by the ascent through the Val d'Uina.

Climbs

On the northeast ridge

From an alpine perspective, all climbs are to be classified as easy and not difficult. Marked, partially marked paths from the surrounding valleys lead in 2 hours from the Sesvennahütte through the southern flank and then briefly over the SE ridge; in 3½ hours from Rojen through the NE flank and shortly over the NE ridge; in 4 hours from Rojen over the Rasasser Scharte ( 2717  m ), the NW ridge and the Craist 'Ota ; in 4 hours from the Brugger Alm in Zerz ; from Schlinig in 3½ hours over the Mäuerl ( 2334  m ) and now unmarked over the SE ridge with crossing the Vernungkopf ( 2870  m ) to the summit. The NW ridge to the Griankopf ( 2896  m ) and the long, but almost evenly running NE ridge to the Seebödenspitze ( 2859  m ) offer traverses to other peaks . Both ridge courses are partly rocky and require surefootedness, but the places can be bypassed or crossed without any problems.

A popular ski tour leads from Rojen through the Fallung Valley and the NE flank.
