The Schnebelhorn is 1292 m above sea level. M. the highest peak in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland . The summit lies on the canton border between the canton of Zurich and the canton of St. Gallen . The panoramic view extends over the Zurich Oberland , Lake Zurich and Greifensee in the west and over the Toggenburg in the east.
The Schnebelhorn is a popular destination for hikes. It is accessible from both sides, from the Töss Valley and the Thur Valley. The most frequented hiking trail is the Höhenweg from the Hulftegg ( 953 m above sea level ).
With a very broad definition, the Schnebelhorn is a secondary peak of the Tweralpspitz , as the mountain ranges connect all the peaks in the region and the Tweralpspitz is the highest of all - but between the Schnebelhorn and the Tweralpspitz there are five other small peaks on the at least 5 kilometers (Beeline) long ridge.
