The Wuosthorn is a mountain peak in Switzerland . The little independent summit is the highest elevation of a ridge running in a north-westerly direction between the southern Sertig valley and the northern Dischma valley in the Davos landscape . In the north-west there is a ridge to the Jakobshorn , which never falls below 2560 meters. Heading south-east you reach the Bocktenhorn (3,044 m) and even further to the Chüealphorn (3,077 m) above the Sertig Pass. In this direction the ridge never falls below the height of 2620 meters. The whole area lies within the municipality of Davos.

Strictly speaking, the Wuosthorn itself does not achieve the independence of a main summit . However, it towers over the other northern secondary peaks Tellihorn (2683 m), Börtnerhorn (2697 m) and its nameless pre-summit at 2549 meters, further on the Jatzhorn (2682 m) lying two and a half kilometers northwest on the ridge and the Jakobshorn, which is better known because of the railway infrastructure with 2590 meters as well as the southern Gfroren Horn (2747 m).
