Wildhuser Schafberg, Summit in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland

The Wildhuser Schafberg is a 2,373 m summit in the Alpstein range of the Appenzell Alps, on the territory of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann in the Toggenburg, southeast of the Säntis and west of the Altmann. It is the third-highest peak of the Alpstein. A white-red-white marked mountain trail reaches the top, but from the pre-summit the route drops into a saddle through a steep gully secured with a wire rope.

The Wildhuser Schafberg rises to 2373 m as the third-highest summit of the Alpstein, in the municipality of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann. It is the only mountain visible from the whole floor of the Obertoggenburg valley, which made it the region's landmark. Gamplüt, below the mountain, is reached by gondola lift from Wildhaus.

The mountain is the landmark of the Obertoggenburg: it is the only peak visible from the whole valley floor, which is why locals use it to read the weather and orient themselves. Its Swiss German name, Wildhuser Schofberg, refers to the Schafberg, the "sheep mountain" above Wildhaus.

The route demands solid hiking experience and proper mountain gear to handle changeable alpine conditions. A mountain hut at mid-elevation offers a rest stop and allows visitors to break the climb into stages if needed.

The Wildhuser Schafberg is the only mountain visible from every part of the Obertoggenburg valley floor, which is why it serves as the region's landmark. Its summit, at 2,373 m, is the third-highest in the Alpstein massif.
