Hochstollen, Mountain summit in Obwalden, Switzerland
The Hochstollen mountain reaches an elevation of 2,481 meters above sea level and stands between Klein Melchtal and Melchtal valleys in central Switzerland.
The summit has served as a natural border marker between the cantons of Obwalden and Bern since the establishment of Swiss territorial divisions.
Local mountaineering groups maintain the network of trails leading to Hochstollen's peak, preserving traditional Swiss alpine hiking routes for future generations.
Climbers can access Hochstollen through marked paths from Melchsee-Frutt, with the summer season offering optimal conditions for reaching the summit.
The mountain's parent peak, Glogghüs, connects to Hochstollen through Wit Ris col at 2,321 meters, creating a distinctive geological formation in the Urner Alps.
