Chüemettler, Mountain summit in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Chüemettler is a mountain peak in the Appenzell Alps in eastern Switzerland, standing at 1,703 meters above sea level. The mountain sits among meadows crossed by multiple hiking routes that offer access from different directions.
The name Chüemettler comes from Swiss-German, combining 'Chüe' meaning cows with 'Mettler', a family name from the area. This naming reflects the long tradition of alpine farming and human settlement in this region.
The mountain area maintains traditional Swiss agricultural methods, particularly cattle grazing practices that continue through generations of local farmers.
The mountain is accessible through multiple marked paths starting from various locations in the area, offering different difficulty levels. Parking is available in the valley, making it easy to reach the trailheads without complicated logistics.
The north ridge features a technical route with metal steps and bars, requiring more advanced climbing skills. This approach differs significantly from the gentler hiking paths and attracts more experienced mountaineers.
