The Vesulspitze is a 3089 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Samnaun group in Tyrol .
Location and surroundings
The Vesulspitze is the highest peak of the north ridge , the northern part of the Samnaun group. The neighboring mountain in the south is the 3030 m high Bürkelkopf , from which the Vesulspitze is separated by the 2804 m high Vesulscharte . The Wannengrat stretches from the summit in a north-westerly direction to the 2704 m high Velillspitze . Another ridge runs in a north-easterly direction over a crossing ( 2727 m ), also called Vesulscharte , to the 2856 m high Riererkopf . The extensive Vesulalpe lies between these ridges . Southeast of the Vesulspitze the covers Velillalpe the south-east Visnitzalpe . The closest localities are Ischgl , about 4 kilometers to the northwest, and Kappl, about 7 kilometers to the northeast .
geology
The Vesulspitze is made entirely of Bündner slate . This contains limestone , limestone slate , clay slate , sandstone , breccias and conglomerates and comes largely from the Cretaceous , but some older as well as younger formations could be involved. The rocks of the Bündner slate are extremely fragile and tend to form heavy debris , so that the rock of the Vesulspitze is not well suited for climbing.
Climbs
The Vesulspitze can be climbed from Ischgl via the Velillalpe and the south-west flank, whereby difficulties in the I. UIAA grade have to be overcome. The ascent over the south ridge has difficulty level II, that over the northwest ridge has difficulty level III.
The first ascent of the Vesulspitze took place in 1866 by Josef Anton Specht .
