The Silberen (2,319 m) is a mountain of the Schwyzer Alps, located east of the Pragel Pass in the canton of Schwyz. On its eastern side the mountain overlooks the lake of Klöntal.
The summit consists of a large karstic plateau. The name, meaning silver in English, derives from the light color of the bare rock.
In winter, it is a popular mountain for ski touring.[2]
