Rugghubel, Mountain summit in Obwalden, Switzerland
Rugghubel rises to an elevation of 2,296 meters in the Swiss Alps, featuring steep rock formations and multiple hiking trails across its terrain.
The mountain gained recognition in 1883 when the Swiss Alpine Club constructed a wooden shelter that later evolved into the current Rugghubel mountain hut.
The Rugghubel mountain hut hosts regular gatherings of mountaineers who share traditional Swiss alpine meals and exchange climbing experiences throughout the seasons.
Visitors can reach the mountain via the Brunni-Bahn cable car from Engelberg to Ristis, followed by a 2.5-hour hike to the summit area.
The winter room of Rugghubel mountain hut remains open year-round, equipped with 19 sleeping spots, cooking facilities, and a drinking water well.
