The Weissflue, which used to be called Gablerflue , is the highest point in the former municipality of Langwies (now Arosa ) in Schanfigg and the highest point in the Davos Parsenn ski area . It belongs to the area of ​​the Arosa shed zone and thus to the Penninic deposit area ( Penninic ).

Geologically, the Weissflue is one of the Arosa Dolomites . Its highest point is on the southwestern edge of an extensive rubble plateau. About 300 m northwest of the main summit is the north summit, 2834  m , from which the west ridge starts. The municipal boundary between Arosa and Klosters-Serneus runs over the northern summit, while the main summit is entirely within the municipality of Arosa. The main summit offers the visitor a comprehensive panoramic view and a deep view towards Arosertal-Schanfigg.

The Weissflue forms a watershed between Prättigau and Schanfigg , the point 2623 between Weissflue and Weissfluhjoch is actually called "Wasserscheidi". At the foot of the Weissflue, the Casannapass leads past, which connects the inner Fondei with the Alp Casanna . The closest localities are Davos in the southeast and Langwies in the southwest, each seven kilometers apart.
