Glatten, Mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland

The Glatten peak reaches an elevation of 2,505 meters above sea level, forming a prominent landmark at the intersection of three Swiss valleys.

The mountain has served as a natural border marker between different Alpine communities since the medieval period, guiding travelers through mountain passes.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional hiking routes to Glatten's summit, preserving generations of Swiss Alpine climbing knowledge.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with winter access requiring additional equipment due to snow conditions.

The summit features an extensive karstic plateau formed through centuries of limestone erosion, creating distinct geological formations across the mountain surface.
