Klimsenhorn, Mountain summit in Nidwalden, Switzerland
The Klimsenhorn peak rises to 1907 meters above sea level, offering views across the surrounding Swiss Alps and neighboring mountain ranges.
The mountain gained recognition in the 1860s when Kaspar Blättler constructed a hotel complex with a neo-Gothic chapel at 1864 meters elevation.
The mountain chapel, consecrated as the Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor, represents Swiss alpine religious architecture and mountaineering traditions.
Climbers can access Klimsenhorn through marked trails, with the nearest access point connecting to surrounding peaks in the Pilatus massif region.
The mountain features a preserved neo-Gothic chapel that survived the 1967 hotel demolition and now serves as both a monument and shelter.
