Widderfeld Stock

Widderfeld Stock is a mountain summit in the Urner Alps situated between the Melchtal and Engelberg valleys. The peak offers various ascent routes that attract hikers of different skill levels throughout the year.

The peak has long served as a natural boundary between the cantons of Nidwalden and Obwalden. This geographical division has remained an important reference point for the surrounding valleys across centuries.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several traditional hiking paths that connect surrounding valleys through the Widderfeld Stock slopes.

Access is possible from multiple valley sides, with routes that are well-marked and offer varying levels of difficulty. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially when moving between different valley areas.

The summit opens to a panorama showing both the Central Swiss Alps and the lower valley plains in the distance. This expansive view makes the mountain a favored spot for photography and observing the changing landscape across seasons.
