Monte Forcola

Monte Forcola rises to 2,906 meters within the Münstertaler mountains, forming a natural boundary between Switzerland and Italy at the edge of Val Müstair region.

The mountain received its name from the Forcola pass, which stands at 2,226 meters and has served as a crossing point between valleys for centuries.

The mountain stands at the intersection of three major river basins: Po, Adige, and Danube, reflecting the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Alpine region.

Climbers can access Monte Forcola through multiple trails starting from Santa Maria Val Münstair, with winter routes available for ski touring expeditions.

The mountain's position creates a triple watershed divide, distributing water across different European river systems through its geological formations.
