Marwees, Mountain summit in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland.
Marwees is a mountain peak in the Appenzell Alps that rises to 2056 meters between the Seealpsee and Sämtisersee valleys. The summit sits within the Alpstein massif and features alpine meadows sloping toward rocky ridges.
The Marwees ridge lies on the range east of the Altmann, between the Seealpsee and Sämtisersee valleys, south of Schwende. Its west end carries the higher summit structure, reaching 2056 metres, and forms the left flank of the Seealpsee in the usual view. Hikers reach the ridge on a high-alpine, blue-and-white marked trail from the Bogartenlücke in the east or the Widderalpsattel in the west, crossing much of the crest.
The Marwees forms the left flank of the usual view of the Seealpsee, and the blue-and-white marked high-alpine trail over the ridge is reached from the Bogartenlücke in the east or the Widderalpsattel in the west. The ridge crossing is a route for experienced hikers rather than a pastoral path.
Hikers need good physical fitness and proper mountain gear for this demanding route. Start early in the day and plan for a full outing to safely reach the top and return.
