Parpaner Rothorn, Mountain summit in Plessur Alps, Switzerland
The Parpaner Rothorn reaches an elevation of 2,899 meters, featuring distinct red rocks that form its upper section and define its landscape.
The mountain contains geological layers from the African tectonic plate, which moved over oceanic rocks approximately 120 million years ago during Alps formation.
A geological educational trail near the mountain station presents 20 information panels explaining the regional earth formation processes to visitors.
The cable car station from Lenzerheide provides direct access to the summit, positioning visitors just 30 meters below the mountain peak.
