Ruchi, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

The Ruchi peak reaches an elevation of 3107 meters and features a north-south ridge separating the Muttsee plain from glacier-filled cirques.

The mountain area underwent modifications due to the construction of a pump storage power station near Muttsee Lake, completed in 2015.

The Ruchi region belongs to a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, presenting the Glarus main thrust fault geological formation within the Swiss Alps.

Visitors can start their ascent from Muttseehütte, following marked trails through meadows and rocky slopes to reach the mountain peak.

The mountain forms a natural border between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden, offering views of the Tödi and Bifertenstock peaks.
