Freiheit, Mountain summit in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland.

Freiheit is a mountain summit in the Appenzell Alps that rises to 2,140 meters and forms part of the Alpstein massif. The terrain features steep limestone cliffs and alternates between exposed rock faces and alpine meadows.

The mountain formed during the Jurassic period through sediment deposition and displays layers from that geological era. The Alpstein range later developed into its current form through tectonic processes.

In September 2016, Appenzell artist Christian Meier installed a solar-powered half-moon on the summit as an alternative summit cross. The three-metre-high sculpture caused controversy, as reported by Tagblatt Online on 6 September 2016. It remains a talking point among climbers and locals.

The normal route, first climbed on 21 September 1884 by E. W. Bodenmann, Döring and K. Eugster, follows the marked trail toward Hundstein, then crosses a small rock step and a grass slope into the gully between Freiheit and Hundstein before easy climbing (grade 2a) to the summit. The south face holds a classic grade IV climb, first ascended on 9 October 1921 by Wilhelm Knoblich and Otto Ritz.
