Der Gürgaletsch mit 2441 m ü. M. ist ein Berg im Kanton Graubünden in der Schweiz.

Lage
Der steinmanngekrönte Gipfel des Gürgaletsch ist der nördlichste Felskopf der Bergkette in den Zentralen Plessuralpen, welche vom Parpaner Rothorn bis zum Churer Joch verläuft. Wie seine beiden Nachbarn, Alpstein und Chli Gürgaletsch, erscheint der Gürgaletsch besonders von Norden als pultförmige Erhebung: Alpweiden von Osten bis zum Grat, imposante Felswände gegen Nordwesten Sein Gebirgsbau ist äusserst kompliziert. Sein Gestein besteht aus Kreide- und Malmkalken der Falknis-/Sulzfluh-Decke.

Google translation
The Gürgaletsch is a mountain in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. It's 2441 meter above sea level.

location
The Steinmann-crowned summit of the Gürgaletsch is the northernmost rock head of the mountain range in the Central Plessuralpen, which runs from the Parpaner Rothorn to the Churer Joch. Like its two neighbors, Alpstein and Chli Gürgaletsch, the Gürgaletsch appears as a desk-shaped elevation, especially from the north: Alpine pastures from the east to the ridge, imposing rock faces to the northwest. Its mountain structure is extremely complicated. Its rock consists of chalk and Malm limestone from the Falknis / Sulzfluh cover.
