Schneehüenerstock, Mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland

The Schneehüenerstock summit reaches an elevation of 2,773 meters above sea level, offering views across the Glarus Alps and surrounding peaks.

The mountain marks the historical border between Gurtnellen and Andermatt communities, serving as a natural boundary marker since the early formation of Uri canton.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional Alpine climbing routes on Schneehüenerstock, passing down mountain navigation techniques through generations of Swiss guides.

Visitors can access Schneehüenerstock via a modern cable car system, with a newly constructed 1000-meter hiking trail connecting the mountain station to Lutersee.

The mountain's position provides direct views of Lake Toma, the source of the Rhine River, and connects to the historical Oberalp Pass trading route.
