Höch Turm, Mountain summit in Muotathal, Switzerland

The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between different Swiss cantons since the early formation of the Swiss Confederation in medieval times.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several climbing routes on Höch Turm, establishing it as a center for traditional Swiss Alpine climbing techniques.

The Ortstockhaus mountain shelter, located at 1,772 meters elevation near Höch Turm, provides accommodation for 27 climbers during the climbing season.
