The Schwarzhorn (also: Flüela-Schwarzhorn ) is located about two kilometers south of the Flüela Pass in the Swiss Alps . It is the highest point in the Davos landscape and is 3,146.2  m above sea level. M.

The Schwarzhorn got its name because of its very dark rock amphibolite, seen from the Davos side, which can be seen far around like a dark spike. The view from the Schwarzhorn is extensive and extends from the Valais Alps in the west to far into the Eastern Alps.

The Schwarzhorn is easily accessible via the path leading from the Flüela Pass, it is considered to be one of the most easily accessible 3000m peaks in the Alps. It is very popular in summer and a popular ski mountain in spring.

Location and surroundings

The Schwarzhorn is the namesake of the Schwarzhorn chain, a subgroup of the Albula Alps . The municipal boundary between Davos and Susch runs over the summit . The Black Horn is in the southwest by the Dischmatal edged and on the east by the Val Susasca.

The neighboring peaks include the Chlein Schwarzhorn ( 2968  m ), the Flüela Wisshorn ( 3085  m ), the Piz Radönt ( 3065  m ), the Radüner Rothorn ( 3022  m ), the Bocktenhorn ( 3044  m ), the Sattelhorn ( 2981  m ), the Hüreli ( 2568  m ) and the Börthorn ( 1697  m ). The Schwarzhorn is separated from the Radüner Rothorn by the Schwarzhornfurgga ( 2880  m ).

On the northern flank, the Schwarzhorn has a glacier, the Schwarzhorn Glacier.

The valley locations are Davos and Susch. Frequent starting points are the Flüelapassstrasse or the Dischma valley.

Sunrise and sunset

At the start of the Flüelapass over the south ridge (Schwarzhornweg) the ascent is relatively short and the path is easy to see. Therefore, both in summer and in winter, the Schwarzhorn is often climbed with headlamps early in the morning to be on the summit at sunrise . The sunset on the Schwarzhorn is also often admired and the way back is made at dusk.
