The Berchtesgaden Hochthron is the highest peak of the Untersberg massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany.
The summit of the Berchtesgaden Hochthron offers one of the best views of the Berchtesgaden region, because it has an unobstructed view over the Berchtesgaden valley as well as all nine massifs of the Berchtesgaden Alps, the Chiemgau Alps, the Austrian mountains of the Salzkammergut and the Tennengebirge.
The Berchtesgaden Hochthron rises around 7 km (4.3 mi) north of Berchtesgaden and about 8 km (5.0 mi) east-southeast from Bad Reichenhall.
About 470 m (1,540 ft) west of the mountain summit is Stöhrhaus, managed by the German Alpine Club in the summer. At the foot of the steep falls of the summit lie the headwaters of the Almbach, which ends after flowing through the Almbachklamm in Berchtesgadener Ache from the south.
