Schneehüenerstock, mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland
Schneehüenerstock is a mountain summit in Uri that rises to 2,773 meters. The peak sits among the Glarus Alps with views across the surrounding highlands.
The ridge carries the border between the municipalities of Gurtnellen and Andermatt. Antennas now stand on the summit, and a non-public cable car runs up from Hauptstrasse 19 at the Oberalp Pass; since December 2018 a public gondola of the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun also serves the mountain.
The name Schneehüenerstock is also rendered Unghürstöckli in local usage. Since December 2018 a public gondola of the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun has run up the mountain, so the summit is now reached by lift rather than only by foot. Antenna installations stand on top.
A cable car system brings visitors to the mountain station, where a recently built hiking trail begins. The walk to Lutersee takes roughly an hour and is manageable for most people.
