The Usser Wissberg is a mountain north of Cresta ( Avers ) in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 3,052 m above sea level. M. It is part of the (Crester) Wissberge, a massif extending from southeast to northwest with Inner Wissberg ( 2947 m ) in the southeast, Mittler Wissberg ( 3001 m ) in the middle and Usser Wissberg in the northwest. The massif has various other culmination points not named on the national map . The massif takes its name from the whitish-yellow color of the marble-like calcite veins that run through the light gray limestone.
Location and surroundings
The Usser Wissberg belongs to the Piz Platta group , a sub -group of the Oberhalbsteiner Alps . At the summit, the municipal boundaries between Ferrera , Avers and Surses meet . The Usser Wissberg is bordered in the east by the Val Gronda , a side valley of the Val Faller , in the south by the Averstal and in the north-west by the Val Starlera .
The neighboring peaks include the Mittlerer and Inner Wissberg in the southeast, the Piz Platta in the east, the Forbesch-Arblatsch massif with Piz Cagniel and Piz Forbesch in the northeast and the Piz Grisch group with Murter , Piz Mez and Piz Alv in the north . South of the Usser Wisshorn, on the other side of the Averstal, is the Grosshorn.
The farthest visible point ( 44 ° 9 '52.1' N , 7 ° 13 '24 " O ) is from Usser Wissberg 200 m north of the Pointe Giegn in French Department Alpes-Maritimes , region Alpes-Cote d' Azure . The Pointe Giegn belongs to the Mercantour Mountains and is only 650 m south of the border with Italy . The point is 315 km away from the Usser Wissberg.
On the eastern flank of the Usser Wissberg had a glacier, the Wissberggletscher , which has now almost completely melted away.
Talort is Cresta. Common starting points are radons and tga.
Stone hut on the east flank
East of the Usser Wissberg is the unlisted P. 2995 on the national map and on its eastern flank a small stone hut. The hut was built by the soldiers in World War I and was used as accommodation for them. The ascent to the hut from Fuorcla Curtegns is marked with wooden posts (also from the time of the First World War). Nowadays the hut is only used by hunters during the Graubünden high hunt .
