Säntis transmitter, Communications tower at Säntis mountain peak, Switzerland
The 123.5-meter transmission tower rises from the summit of Säntis mountain, supporting radio and television broadcasting across multiple Swiss regions.
The site's telecommunications history began in 1955 with a wooden antenna structure, leading to the construction of the current tower in 1997.
The tower marks a central point where three Swiss cantons meet: Appenzell Innerrhoden, St. Gallen, and Appenzell Ausserrhoden.
The transmission facility broadcasts digital radio services through SRG SSR radio bouquet on frequency 12C and television signals via UHF 34.
The structure receives over 100 lightning strikes annually, making it one of the most frequently lightning-struck buildings in Switzerland.
