Gross Schärhorn, Alpine summit in Uri, Switzerland.
The Gross Schärhorn reaches an elevation of 3,294 meters with two distinct peaks rising above glacial formations in the Glarus Alps.
The mountain's topographical measurements and mapping details were established through systematic surveys conducted by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography.
Local mountaineering traditions involve seasonal ascents from both the Hüfi hut at 2,334 meters and Planura hut at 2,947 meters.
Access to Gross Schärhorn begins at Bristen, reachable by taking the Gotthard railway from Lucerne to Göschenen, followed by a bus connection.
The mountain stands between three glaciers: Hüfifirn to the southeast, Bocktschingelfirn to the southwest, and Griessfirn to the north.
