Chlingenstock, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland.
The Chlingenstock is a 1,935-metre summit in the Schwyzer Alps, the highest peak of the Fronalpstock chain, shared by the municipalities of Morschach and Riemenstalden. It is reached by a six-seat chair lift opened in 2007 from Stoos, which replaced a ski lift. Toward Riemenstalden the mountain drops away in the Gross Wand.
The six-seat chairlift from Stoos, opened in 2007, replaced an earlier ski lift and made the summit reachable in summer as well as winter. The mountain's black ski runs, including the Franz Heinzer piste approved for FIS races, hosted Swiss championships, most recently in 2019. The Chlingenstock was to host skiing events of the 2021 Winter Universiade, cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
