Pfannenstock, Alpine summit in Schwyz, Switzerland

The Pfannenstock mountain rises to an elevation of 2,573 meters within the Schwyzer Alps, featuring a prominent karst landscape between Muota and Linth valleys.

The mountain has been documented in Swiss Alpine records since the early exploration of the Schwyzer Alps, serving as a geographical marker between canton borders.

Local mountaineering groups organize regular expeditions to Pfannenstock as part of the traditional Three-Day Bisistaler Route through the Swiss Alpine passages.

Hikers can access Pfannenstock through marked trails starting from Schwarzenbach, with the journey covering substantial elevation gains across a 45-kilometer circuit.

The mountain's winter room at Glattalphütte provides shelter for travelers attempting the complete traverse of multiple peaks in the southeastern Schwyz region.
