Rophaien, Mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland
Rophaien rises to 2078 meters above Lake Lucerne, presenting a distinct profile against the backdrop of the Schwyzer Alps mountain range.
The mountain has served as a geographical landmark for local communities since the establishment of the Swiss Confederation, with Uri as a founding canton.
The summit cross at Rophaien functions as a meeting point for annual mountain ceremonies where local residents gather to maintain alpine traditions.
Multiple hiking trails lead to Rophaien's peak from Flüelen and Sisikon, with ascent times ranging between three to five hours depending on the chosen route.
The mountain position creates an optical phenomenon during winter sunsets when its shadow extends across Lake Uri, forming a triangle on the water surface.
