Mount Säntis is a spectacular site in the northeast of Switzerland. With 2502 meter above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the area and therefore very exposed to wind and weather. It is also perfectly suited as a host for terrestrial communication devices. At the top, there are many antennas, some of them attached to a pylon that rises 123 meter above ground. You can hike up to the top - rather strenuous but very awarding - or you can ride the aerial tramway. There are restaurants at the top and - if weather permits - you will enjoy a georgeous view. You will not only see the Swiss alps, but also way into Austria and Germany.
See www.saentisbahn.ch for more details (the website is available in German, French and English).
