Surettahorn

Punta Nera - Pizzo Suretta is a mountain in the Oberhalbstein Range with two main peaks reaching around 3,000 meters. Glaciers cover the northern and southern slopes, shaping the structure of the massif.

The mountain stands near the Splügen Pass, which was a key trade route connecting northern and southern Europe for centuries. This historic passage shaped the development of the surrounding alpine region.

The summit sits on the border between Canton Graubunden and Lombardy, where Swiss and Italian influences meet. Visitors and climbers experience this cultural meeting point while moving between the two regions.

Spring and summer offer the best conditions for climbing, when weather is more favorable and snow cover decreases. Access to the mountain starts from the Montespluga base, which offers several different routes.

The western ridge splits into several rocky towers called Cime Cadenti that stand at different heights between 2,900 and 3,000 meters. These formations create a distinct group that receives far less attention than the main peaks.
