The Tinzenhorn (Romansh Corn da Tinizong, in local idiom Surmiran Corn da Tinizung ) is a mountain east of Savognin and southwest of Filisur in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with a height of 3,173 m. On Tinzenhorn fossilized footprints of dinosaurs have been found. He is a slender, boldly ascending pinnacle of almost gothic appearance, fall down the four walls in partially torn walls.

Location

The Tinzenhorn one of the Bergüner sticks, a subgroup of the Albula Alps. The Tinzenhorn separates the north from the south-west to the Albula valley located above stone. The summit is on the municipality of Filisur, however, the boundary of the municipality is to Tinizong - Rona just 191 m away.

Among the neighboring peaks of Tinzenhorns include the Piz Mitgel, the Piz Ela and the pizza Grossa.

At the foot of the Tinzenhorns often visited mountain lake located Lai Tigiel ( 2,462 m) and the pass digls Orgel ( 2'699 m ), with its pointed, narrow and partly perforated dolomite gendarmes, reminiscent of organ pipes of a church organ. Both Lai Tigiel, as well as the pass digls Orgels are easily accessible on a good and well- marked trail.
