Gross Aubrig, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland.
Gross Aubrig is a mountain summit in Switzerland that reaches 1,695 meters (5,561 feet) in elevation. The route to the top passes through forest paths and steep rocky terrain before opening onto the ridge.
For centuries this peak served as a geographical marker between the Sihl and Wägital valleys, helping travelers navigate through the Swiss Prealps. Its central position made it a key reference point for regional orientation.
Local dairy farmers maintain traditional Alpine cheese production facilities near the mountain paths, continuing methods passed down through generations.
Hiking paths to the summit begin at the Sattelegg parking area and initially follow a forest road. The ascent becomes gradually steeper and rockier, so sturdy footwear and good fitness are needed.
On clear days from the summit visitors can see five different lakes at the same time: Zurichsee, Pfäffikersee, Wägitalersee, Sihlsee, and Greifensee. This rare combination of views makes the vantage point special for nature lovers.
