The Zervreilahorn is a mountain southwest of Vals, at the end of Valsertals in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with a height of 2,898 m. Because he saw the Zervreilasee from having a striking pyramid shape, it is sometimes referred to as Graubünden Matterhorn. From the other side you can see, however, that he in fact a long-drawn, trending from northeast to southwest, very torn and jagged ridge with two main peaks (see image in the infobox ). The Zervreilahorn is shown on the label of the Valserwassers (see image in the infobox ).

The Zervreilahorn can be achieved in a challenging alpine hike over the southwest ridge (T5 ) or a ramp in the southeast wall. On the East summit, with 2'862 m little lower than the main summit via the Northeast Ridge is a climbing route, the difficulty of the V degree ( UIAA ) has.
