Rotstöckli, Alpine summit in Urner Alps, Switzerland

The Rotstöckli peak rises to 2,901 meters above sea level, marking the border between the Swiss cantons of Obwalden and Nidwalden in central Switzerland.

The mountain has maintained its status as Nidwalden's highest point throughout recorded geographical surveys, contributing to regional mapping and territorial demarcation.

Local mountaineering communities frequently traverse the Stand-Rotstöckli trail, which requires advanced T5 grade climbing skills and technical mountain expertise.

Climbers access the summit through the Stand-Rotstöckli route, with the Skihütte Stand mountain hut located 822 meters northwest providing essential shelter and supplies.

The mountain's position creates a natural frontier between two cantons, while its limestone composition reveals the geological patterns of the Urner Alps formation.
