Gamser Rugg, Mountain summit in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The Gamserrugg peak rises to 2076 meters above sea level and features steep limestone cliffs along its southern face and a gentler northern slope.
The mountain received its name from the local chamois population that historically inhabited the slopes and surrounding terrain throughout the centuries.
Local alpine farmers maintain traditional seasonal residence at Gamsalp, continuing centuries-old agricultural practices in the mountain's middle elevation.
A modern chairlift system connects the base to Gamsalp, while additional ski lifts extend to 2070 meters for winter sports activities.
The Geological Trail presents twelve educational stations around the mountain, revealing the formations of Upper Cretaceous seawater limestone and Garschella layers.
