Spitzmeilen

Spitzmeilen rises to 2,501 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive mesa-shaped peak on the border between Glarus and St. Gallen cantons.

The mountain's geological formation comprises Verrucano rock, which developed during the Alpine orogeny through intense tectonic movements millions of years ago.

Local mountaineering communities gather at Spitzmeilenhütte refuge at 2,087 meters, sharing experiences and supporting fellow climbers throughout their expeditions.

Visitors can reach the mountain base via gondola from Unterterzen to Tannenboden, followed by marked hiking trails leading to various climbing routes.

The mountain presents different approaches from two cantons, with the Schilstal valley on one side and Sernftal valley on the other offering contrasting landscapes.
