Schwalmis, Mountain summit in the Urner Alps, Switzerland

Schwalmis is a mountain peak straddling the cantons of Uri and Nidwalden, rising to 2,246 meters in elevation. The Uri side features grassy slopes, while the Nidwalden side shows rocky outcrops and stone formations.

The sources record no founding event, construction date or club involvement for the Schwalmis; it appears in the summit inventories of the Swiss Alps and Prealps, where it is listed as ID 5119 among 6325 Swiss mountains in Roman Koch's October 2013 register. Its documented history is one of routes rather than buildings: the mountain is reached from the Klewenalp or Gitschenen, or along the ridge from the Oberbauenstock, the latter reserved for experienced, sure-footed hikers.

The Schwalmis is climbed in both summer and winter, and the usual routes start from Klewenalp or Gitschenen. The ridge traverse from the Oberbauenstock is reserved for experienced, sure-footed hikers. The summit gives views in all directions, including over Lake Lucerne.

The Schwalmis can be climbed from the Klewenalp or from Gitschenen, both on marked routes; the ridge traverse from the Oberbauenstock (2,117 m) is reserved for experienced, sure-footed hikers. The summit lies on the Nidwalden–Uri border at 2,246 m, so carry weather protection and check conditions before setting out.

The Schwalmis is one of a chain of peaks above Lake Lucerne that also includes the Jochlistock (2,079 m), Gandispitz (1,996 m), Zingel (1,901 m) and Oberbauenstock (2,117 m). The ridge route from the Oberbauenstock to the Schwalmis is reserved for experienced, sure-footed hikers.
