The Surettahorn ( derived from the village name Sufers , Rhaeto-Romanic Sur with -etta , meaning ‹Suferser Alp›) is a mountain with double peaks east of the Splügen Pass on the border between the Swiss canton of Graubünden and the Italian province of Sondrio at an altitude of 3,026 m above sea level. M. The western, slightly higher summit at 3026 m is Punta Nera ( Italian named for <black lace>); the eastern 3021 m high peak Punta Rossa (Italian for “red tip”, although the peak is strikingly yellow). The transition from one peak to the other is a bit airy, with favorable conditions WS , ¼ hour. A third, less prominent point in the southeast ridge is called Punta Adami ( 2978 m ).
Location and surroundings
The Surettahorn is the namesake of the Suretta Group, a subgroup of the Oberhalbsteiner Alps . The municipal boundaries of Sufers and Splügen in the canton of Graubünden , Switzerland , and the national border with the Italian province of Sondrio meet at the summit .
The neighboring peaks include the Piz Por in the east, the Piz Ursaregls in the southeast and the Inner Schwarzhorn , Mittler Schwarzhorn and the Outer Schwarzhorns in the west.

The surretta maple has a glacier on the north flank, on the east flank and on the south flank. Only the glacier on the south side is listed on the national map with the name Ghiacciaio di Suretta .
