Brünnelistock is a 2,133-meter summit that straddles the border between the cantons of Schwyz and Glarus in the Swiss Prealps. The peak sits among rocky slopes and alpine meadows, offering views across the surrounding mountain ranges from its top.

Alpine herders have used the mountain's slopes for summer grazing since medieval times, supporting livestock during warmer months. This pastoral tradition shaped how local communities interacted with the landscape for centuries.

Local mountaineering traditions center around this peak, where generations of Swiss climbers developed their alpine skills through various expeditions.

The route is technically demanding and requires proper alpine experience, particularly on the ridge near the summit. Conditions change quickly in this area, so starting early and checking current forecasts is important.
