Amselflue, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
The Amselflue is a 2,781 m mountain in the Plessur Alps, in the Strela chain between Arosa and Davos Glaris, south of the Maienfelder Furgga. Its rocky summit ridge carries the municipal boundary between Arosa and Davos; the highest point is the west summit, from which ridges run west, south-southeast and northeast to the 2,768 m east summit above the Furgga. The long southeast ridge toward Davos Glaris is broken by the prominent Amselturm, and steep scree slopes surround the rock crest.
The summit ridge of the Amselflue carries the municipal boundary between Arosa and Davos, running over the highest point, the 2,781-metre west summit. The 2,768-metre east summit rises directly above the Maienfelder Furgga, the pass south of the mountain, and sends a long south-east ridge toward Davos Glaris.
The summit ridge of the Amselflue forms the municipal boundary between Arosa and Davos, so the mountain is a landmark for both communes. The eastern summit rises directly above the Maienfelder Furgga, a pass crossing south of the peak. The Amselturm, a rock tower on the long southeast ridge toward Davos Glaris, is a feature climbers and ridge walkers look for.
Multiple hiking routes reach the summit from nearby valleys, with experienced hikers needing roughly four hours under normal conditions. The climbing season works best when snow has melted from the paths, making the routes safer and easier to follow.
