Wiss Platte is a peak sitting precisely on the border between Austria and Switzerland, deep within the Rätikon range. It's a spot for those craving solitude and untouched terrain - unlike its popular neighbor Scheienfluh, this summit sees very few visitors.
The mountain has two distinct personalities: to the north and east lie flat, slab-like walls scored with karren (limestone grooves), while the west side plunges into steep walls cut by deep gorges, passable only by climbing. The surrounding landscape is rugged and rocky, classic Rätikon limestone terrain, with views stretching to the Sulzfluh in the west and the Sarotlaspitzen peaks to the east. No one knows when it was first climbed - hunters likely reached the summit from the northeast long before any record was kept.
How to reach the summitInteresting fact: Austrian and Swiss surveys don't even agree on the elevation - there's a two-meter difference between the official figures on each side.
