Nünalphorn, Mountain summit in Central Swiss Prealps, Switzerland.

Nünalphorn is a mountain in the Central Swiss Prealps that rises between the valleys of Melchtal and Engelberg, displaying grassy slopes that give way to rocky ridges. The peak offers varied terrain across its slopes and steep sections that change as you move around it.

The Nünalphorn appears in the third panel of the fresco "Die Landsgemeinde" by Albert Welti and Wilhelm Balmer, painted in 1907 for the Council of States hall in the Bundeshaus in Bern; the geographical relations in the panel do not match reality. The Hotel Paxmontana in Flüeli-Ranft, built in 1896, was called Kurhaus Nünalphorn until 1956 because of its view of the peak. The Nünalp below the summit, at 2136 m the highest alp in Central Switzerland where cheese is still made in summer, had its hut renovated in 2014 and linked by a new cable car for material transport.

The Nünalp below the summit, at 2136 m, is considered the highest alp in Central Switzerland where cheese is still made in summer. Its hut was renovated in 2014 and given a new cable car for transporting materials. The mountain also appears in the third panel of the 1907 fresco "Die Landsgemeinde" by Albert Welti and Wilhelm Balmer in the Ständerat hall of the Bundeshaus in Bern, though the geographical relations are not accurate.

The usual ascent starts at the Juchlipass (2171 m), reached from the Engelberg valley or from Melchtal via Rütialp, Stockalp and Nünalp (2136 m), the highest alp in Central Switzerland still making cheese in summer. From the pass a marked mountain trail leads to the summit cross. A second, climbing route gains the top from Bocki-Rotisand (2204 m) to the northeast.

The Hotel Paxmontana in Flüeli-Ranft was called Kurhaus Nünalphorn from its construction in 1896 until 1956, because it has a very good view of the mountain. The Nünalphorn also appears in the third panel of the 1907 fresco "Die Landsgemeinde" by Albert Welti and Wilhelm Balmer in the Council of States hall of the Bundeshaus in Bern, though the geographical relations do not match reality.
