Rautispitz, Mountain summit in Glarus, Switzerland
Rautispitz rises to an elevation of 2,283 meters in the Glarus Alps, between the lakes of Obersee and Klöntalersee, offering views over the village of Netstal.
The mountain has drawn mountaineers from Switzerland and beyond since the systematic exploration of the Alps during the nineteenth century climbing movement.
Local mountaineering clubs regularly organize guided expeditions to Rautispitz, maintaining traditional alpine climbing practices and sharing knowledge with newcomers.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from the western side at Obersee, with nearby mountain huts Bockmattlihütte and Äugstenhütte providing overnight accommodation.
The mountain's geological formations reveal distinct rock layers that document millions of years of Alpine development through various tectonic movements.
