Trubelstock, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland
Trubelstock is a mountain summit in the Valais Alps reaching 2,998 meters in elevation. It sits at the boundary where three municipalities meet, with its slopes descending into different valleys on each side.
The name Trubelstock appears in older records as Trubelnstock. The summit (2,998 m according to the English article, 2,999 m in the German one) marks the point where the municipal areas of Crans-Montana, Varen and Inden meet, a boundary arrangement recorded in the German-language source.
The name Trubelstock was formerly also written Trubelnstock, a spelling recorded in German-language sources. The summit point is where the municipal areas of Crans-Montana, Varen and Inden meet, so walkers on the upper slopes pass between three communes of the Valais.
