Schlossberg, Mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland
Schlossberg is a mountain summit in the Urner Alps located between Engelberg and Erstfeld. The massif consists of several peaks, with Hinter Schloss being the highest point at around 3133 meters and forming the dominant crest of the mountain.
The mountain served as a navigation landmark for medieval travelers crossing the Swiss Alps and using mountain passes for trade routes. This role in guiding merchants shaped the early development of alpine pathways through Uri.
Local mountaineering groups maintain records of ascents to Schlossberg, documenting climbing achievements and route developments through generations of alpinists.
Climbing this peak requires proper mountaineering gear and high altitude experience. The best window for attempts is between July and September when weather is more stable and snow coverage is minimal.
The mountain features multiple peaks, with Hinter Schloss standing as the highest point and providing views across several Swiss cantons.
