Dammastock, Mountain peak in Uri and Valais, Switzerland

The Dammastock reaches an elevation of 3,630 meters, making it the highest mountain in the Urner Alps within the Swiss mountain range.

Albert Hoffmann-Burkhardt, accompanied by guides Johann Fischer and Andreas von Weissenfluh, completed the first ascent of Dammastock on July 28, 1864.

The summit ridge forms a natural boundary between Uri and Valais cantons, representing the geographical diversity of Switzerland's alpine territories.

Two mountain shelters, the Dammastock Hut at 2,445 meters and Hotel Tiefenbach at 2,109 meters, provide accommodation for mountain climbers.

The mountain features three substantial glaciers: the Rhone Glacier on the western side, the Damma Glacier to the east, and Trift Glacier to the north.
