About

The Leistchamm (2,101 m [6,893 ft]) is a mountain of the Appenzell Alps, located east of Amden in the canton of St. Gallen. It lies to the west of the Churfirsten range, overlooking the Lake Walen (Walensee).

The border of the cantonal districts of See-Gaster and Sarganserland runs along the mountain's crest. Quinten, a car-free village, is located below Leistchamm on the northern shore of Lake Walen. The Seerenbach Falls lie to the west of the mountain.
