Bockmattli, Mountain summit in Glarus and Schwyz, Switzerland

Bockmattli is a 1931 m summit in the Schwyz Alps, a secondary peak of the Tierberg (1988 m), about 3 km east of Innerthal on the Wägitalersee and 8 km west of Näfels. Its summit lies in the canton of Schwyz close to the Glarus border, while the Bockmattlipass at 1796 m on the cantonal boundary links the Wägital with the Oberseetal. Northwest of the summit stand the Bockmattli towers, whose limestone walls carry numerous climbing routes.

The name Bockmattli derives from the Alpine ibex (Gamsbock). The 1931 m summit is a secondary peak of the 1988 m Tierberg, lying in the canton of Schwyz close to the Glarus border. The Bockmattlipass at 1796 m, just south on the cantonal boundary, links the Wägital with the Oberseetal.

The name Bockmattli derives from the chamois buck (Gamsbock), and the peak is a long-established rock-climbing area. The Bockmattlihütte at 1501 m offers overnight stays, and the Bockmattlitürme towers carry many routes on mostly good limestone, from the Westpfeiler (AS+) to Supertramp (EX and harder).

The usual base is Obersee at 990 m above Näfels, reached by a path west to the Ahornenälpli at 1404 m and then a cable-secured trail along the ridge to the summit, about 2½ hours. From the Wägital side, follow the route from Innerthal to the Schwarzenegghöhe and the Bockmattlihütte at 1501 m, which offers overnight accommodation; from there the summit takes another 2½ hours via the Gross Chälen and the Bockmattliwiese.
