This is a list of
mountains of the
Swiss canton of
Uri. Uri is a very mountainous canton and lies entirely within the
Alps. It is also one of the five cantons having summits above 3,600 metres. Topographically, the most important summit of the canton is that of the
Dammastock (most
elevated, most
prominent and most
isolated).
This list only includes significant summits with a
topographic prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft). There are over 90 such summits in Uri and they are found in almost all its municipalities.[1] All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-
scale maps available.[2]
^
abAll mountain heights and prominences are from the 1:25,000
Swisstopo topographic maps.
^The three main sources for first ascent data are: For the Western Alps;
W.A.B. Coolidge,
The Alps in nature and history, Methuen & Co, London, 1908. For the Central Alps;
Gottlieb Studer, Über Eis und Schnee: Die höchsten Gipfel der Schweiz und die Geschichte ihrer Besteigung, Volumes 1-3, Schmid & Francke, Bern, 1896-1899. For the Eastern Alps: Die Erschließung der Ostalpen, Volumes 1-3, German and Austrian Alpine Club, Berlin, 1894. Given are the years for the first recorded ascents. In many cases local people or surveyors made earlier ascents. In particular, chamois and ibex hunters are expected to have reached many summits. Years in italics indicate that it is known that an earlier ascent was made, for example by the presence of artifacts on top or the summit's prior use as a triangulation point.
