Location and surroundings
The Scalettahorn belongs to the Grialetsch area, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Davos and S-chanf runs above the summit . The Scalettahorn is bordered in the north by the Dischma Valley , in the southeast by the Vallorgia and in the southwest by the extension of the Val Susauna.
The neighboring peaks include the Piz Grialetsch in the east, the Piz Vadret in the southeast, the Chüealphorn in the southwest and the Leidhorn in the northwest.
The scaletta maple is surrounded on all sides by glaciers. To the northeast of the summit is the Scaletta Glacier, to the southeast of the Vadret Vallorgia and on the west side is an unnamed glacier.
Frequent starting points are Dürrboden in the Dischma valley , Susauna in the Engadin and the two SAC huts Chamanna da Grialetsch and Chamanna digl Kesch .
