Tschingel (Oberhasli)

The Tschingel (2,326 m) is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, overlooking Meiringen in the Bernese Oberland. It constitutes the eastern end of the Grindelgrat, a ridge descending from the Garzen summit (2,710 m).
The summit is on the border between Meiringen and Schattenhalb municipalities.
The toponym "Tschingel" or "Zingel" is comparatively frequent in Central Switzerland. It is a derivation of Latin "cingulum" "girdle, belt" and refers to a horizontal band of naked rock, or striations in a rock face.
