Muttler, Mountain summit in Samnaun Alps, Switzerland.
Muttler is a mountain summit in the Samnaun Alps standing at approximately 3,300 meters in the Graubunden region. The slopes feature alpine meadows and rocky faces that descend steeply toward the surrounding valleys.
The first documented ascent took place in 1858, establishing the peak as an early mountaineering destination in the region. This early climb marked the beginning of the mountain's role in mountain tourism.
The peak serves as a defining landmark for Samnaun villagers and shapes the identity of this border community. Locals view it as a natural reference point that connects them to their mountain surroundings.
The route starts from Samnaun village at about 1,800 meters elevation and follows marked trails through Val Masais valley to the summit. The hike takes roughly seven to eight hours round trip and requires sure-footedness and endurance.
A radio transmitter operated on the western side of the summit from 1972 to 2011, using the elevation for regional communications. The facility was dismantled but traces remain visible, marking an unusual chapter in the mountain's recent use.
