The Zervreilahorn is a mountain southwest of Vals , at the end of the Valsertal in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 2898 m . Because it has a striking pyramid shape as seen from the Zervreila lake , it is sometimes referred to as the Bündner Matterhorn . From the other side, however, you can see that it is actually a long, very torn and jagged ridge that stretches from northeast to southwest and has two main peaks (see picture in the info box). The Zervreilahorn is shown on the label of the Valserwasser (see picture in the info box).
The Zervreilahorn can be reached in a demanding alpine hike over the southwest ridge ( T5 ) or a ramp in the southeast face . On the north-east summit , at 2862 m a little lower than the main summit, a climbing route leads over the north-east ridge, which has difficulties of grade V ( UIAA ).
Location and surroundings
The Zervreilahorn belongs to the Güferhorn-Fanellhorn Group, a mountain group of the Adula Group in the Adula Alps . The mountain is located entirely in the municipality of Vals. To the west of the Zervreilahorn rises in the Länta, the uppermost part of the Valsertal, the Valser Rhine . In the east lies the Canal Valley, in which the Canalbach flows. Both valleys surround the Zervreilahorn almost in a circle. The brooks flow into the Zervreilasee at an altitude of 1862 m in the northeast of the mountain.
Immediately south of the Zervreilahorn is the 3043 m high Furggeltihorn . From the Zervreilasee a mountain hiking trail leads between Zervreilahorn and Furggeltihorn over the Furggelti to the Läntahütte .
The valley location is Vals, frequent starting points are the Zervreilasee and the Läntahütte.
Origin of name
Documented mention is 1301 alpis de Seurera and 1504 Safraylen . The name Soreda is of the same tribe for the Lampertschalp which is adjacent to the Zervreila and belongs to the former municipality of Ponto Valentino ( Canton Ticino ). Probably from the Latin alpis superaria 'the uppermost alp' , the alp above the mountain.
