Druesberg

Druesberg is a mountain summit in the Schwyzer Alps reaching 2,282 meters (7,487 feet) and located between Unteriberg and Muotathal. Its steep slopes form a distinctive presence in this alpine region.

Since medieval times, this mountain has served as a passage connecting distant valleys and enabling trade and travel over mountain routes. The ancient pathways established then still influence how trails cross this area today.

The area surrounding this summit has long been a destination for mountaineers and walkers exploring the alpine landscape. The established trails reflect a deep connection between Swiss people and their mountains.

Hikers typically begin from Weglosen and pass through the Druesberghütte shelter during their ascent. Good walking experience and proper alpine equipment are necessary for this mountain route.

Water from this summit feeds into the Sihl River, which later flows through Zürich while passing through different elevation zones. This water system connects the remote alps directly to the city below.
