Crast' Agüzza

Crast' Agüzza rises to 3,870 meters above sea level, displaying steep granite faces bordered by the Morteratsch Glacier to the north and Upper Scerscen Glacier to the south.

The first successful ascent of the mountain occurred on July 17, 1865, when Johann Jakob Weilenmann, J. A. Specht, Franz Pöll, and Jakob Pfitschner reached the summit via the west ridge.

The mountain earned the name Engadin Matterhorn from local inhabitants due to its distinctive profile and significance in the regional mountaineering traditions.

The Marco e Rosa Hut, situated at 3,597 meters altitude, provides necessary shelter and serves as a base camp for mountaineers planning to climb the summit.

The mountain forms a natural border point between Italy and Switzerland, marking the 14th highest peak in the Western Rhaetian Alps with a prominence of 171 meters.
