Silberen, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland.

Silberen is a 2,319 m summit in the Schwyzer Alps, east of the Pragel Pass in the canton of Schwyz. Its top is a large karstic plateau of bare, light-coloured limestone, and its eastern side drops towards the Klöntal lake.

The karst field on Silberen is mainly a formation in Schrattenkalk, a limestone deposited about 125 million years ago. The mountain lies above the cave systems of the Hölloch and the Silberen system. A monument to Fliegerstaffel 1, bearing the bird Roch, stands on the summit.

The name Silberen means 'silver' and refers to the pale colour of the bare rock on the summit plateau. The protected landscape that shares the name also takes in the Bödmerenwald in the upper Muotatal, a subalpine spruce forest described as the largest primeval spruce forest in the Alps.

The main hiking route begins at Roggenloch through the Pragel Pass trail network and takes about five hours to reach the summit. Sturdy footwear and weather preparation are important since the high plateau is exposed to changing conditions.

The mountain's surface is carved with numerous limestone channels and hollows that form one of the largest karst landscapes in the Swiss Alps. This porous structure developed as water dissolved the soft limestone over vast stretches of time.
