Hüser

Hüser is a mountain in the Alpstein range featuring two separate rocky peaks connected by a ridge. The northern peak sits at 1,951 meters and can be reached by hiking, while the southern summit is more dramatic and rocky.

The mountain formed millions of years ago when tectonic forces shaped the limestone of the Alpstein massif into its current form. These geological processes created the distinctive rocky structures visible on the peaks today.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional climbing routes on both peaks, marking paths with stone cairns that guide climbers through the terrain.

The northern peak can be reached by marked hiking trails, while the southern summit requires climbing skills and safety gear. Both routes are better tackled in dry conditions and with proper mountain footwear.

From the summit you can see down into the St. Galler Rheintal valley on one side and mountain terrain on the other. The location sits conveniently between hiking routes and the Staubern mountain hut.
