Glogghüs

Glogghüs is a mountain summit in the Urner Alps located between the cantons of Obwalden and Bern in Switzerland. The peak overlooks Melchsee below and forms a distinctive high point along this Alpine ridge.

The mountain became accessible to hikers through Alpine development in the 1800s as mountaineering grew in the region. Routes were gradually established to connect surrounding Alpine pathways and shelter buildings.

Local mountain guides from Haslital maintain traditional Alpine routes, sharing knowledge of safe passage through the mountain's varied terrain.

Hikers will find rest and lodging available at the Tällihütte shelter partway up the mountain. Conditions are most favorable during the summer months when weather patterns are more stable.

The elongated summit marks the boundary between two municipalities and sits at a notable geographic coordinate. This natural border position makes the peak a curious landmark for those interested in Alpine geography and administrative lines.
