Hoher Kasten, Mountain summit in Appenzell Innerrhoden and St. Gallen cantons, Switzerland.

This 1,794-meter Alpine peak features a cable car connection from Brülisau village, providing access to panoramic views spanning six countries across the Rhine Valley and surrounding mountain ranges.

The name Hoher Kasten appears in a 1460 record as "an dem Kasten"; locally the mountain is called de Chaschte. Ascents to the summit and to the neighbouring Kamor were already described in alpine literature at the start of the 19th century. A cable car from Brülisau has served the summit since 1964, covering 869 metres of height difference in eight minutes.

The summit hosts a revolving restaurant serving traditional Swiss cuisine while slowly rotating to offer diners complete 360-degree views, making it a centerpiece of regional tourism and culinary heritage.

Cable car service operates daily with 20-minute intervals from Brülisau, taking eight minutes to reach the summit, while the Alpine garden and Europa Rundweg circular trail provide educational walking opportunities.

The 72-metre Swisscom transmission tower on the summit was built in 1999, replacing a smaller mast. It broadcasts Radio FM1 on 103.2 MHz and SRF 1 SG, SRF 2 Kultur and SRF 3 on 104.8, 97.7 and 107.4 MHz. The Kastensattel saddle below is a popular paraglider launch site.
