Despite it being rather low when compared to other Alpine peaks - the highest mountain is the Säntis at 2502 metres - the Alpstein, due to their northern "outpost" position only a short distance from Lake Constance (nearly 30 km) are relatively tall when compared to the surrounding area.

The Säntis transmitter is a 123.5 m (405.3 ft) high transmitting station on the summit of the 2,502 m (8,209 ft) high Säntis mountain in Switzerland. It is operated by Swisscom. The original tower was built in 1955, but due to the extreme weather at such a high altitude, it had to be repeatedly rebuilt. Finally in 1997, a completely new tower has been built which is specifically suited to the icy temperatures.
