Rossberg, Mountain chain and viewpoint in Schwyz and Zug, Switzerland
The Rossberg mountain chain rises to 1580 meters and features three distinct peaks: Wildspitz, Chaiserstock at 1426 meters, and Gnipen at 1567 meters.
In 1806, a massive landslide from Rossberg destroyed the villages of Goldau and Röthen, revealing the geological composition of lower freshwater molasses.
The Swiss Alpine Club section at Rossberg coordinates mountain activities, tours, and educational programs about Alpine environments for 143 years.
The northern slope drains through Hüribach river toward Ägerisee, while southern watercourses flow into Lauerzersee and through Muota into Vierwaldstättersee.
The debris area from the 1806 landslide displays consecutive stages of forest development, providing insights into natural vegetation recovery processes.
