The Selbsanft consists of several summits, of which the highest is named Hinderi Schibe. The massif is a buttress of the Bifertenstock and forms, along with the Schiben, the ridge that separates the valleys of the Sand (west) and Limmernsee (east). A small glacier lies east of the summit.^[2]

Summits

The five main summits are, from north to south, the Vorder Selbsanft, also known as Hauserhorn (2,750 m [9,020 ft], there are higher summits between the Vorder Selbsanft and Mittler Selbsanft, though), Mitttler Selbsanft, also known in Grisons as Plattas Alvas (2,949 m [9,675 ft]), the Hinter Selbsanft (3,028 m [9,934 ft]), the highest peak of the Selbsanft triplet.
