Answer the following question: What is the height of the mountain that is located on the border between the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen and Graubünden ? Provide just your answer in a JSON object {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}. Avoid adding external knowledge.

In topography , prominence [ a ] measures the height of a mountain or hill 's summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it but containing no higher summit within it . It is a measure of the independence of a summit . A peak 's key col ( highest gap between two mountains ) is a unique point on this contour line and the parent peak is some higher mountain , selected according to various criteria .
The Ringelspitz ( also known as Piz Barghis ) is a mountain of the Glarus Alps , located on the border between the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen and Graubünden . Reaching a height of 3,248 metres above sea level , it is the highest summit in the canton of St. Gallen . It is split between three municipalities : Pfäfers ( St. Gallen ) , Trin and Tamins ( Graubünden ) . The Ringelspitz is the culminating point of a range , about 12 kilometres long , running from west to east and diverging from the main chain of the Glarus Alp between Piz Sardona and Piz Segnas . The massif separates the Calfeisen valley in canton St. Gallen from the Rhine valley near Flims . The north side of the mountain consists of nearly 2,000 metre-high precipitous cliffs overlooking the Gigerwaldsee ( 1,335 m ) .
The Glarus Alps ( German : Glarner Alpen ) are a mountain range in central Switzerland . They are bordered by the Uri Alps and the Schwyz Alps to the west , the Lepontine Alps to the south , the Appenzell Alps to the northeast . The eastern part of the Glarus Alps contains a major thrust fault which was declared a geologic UNESCO world heritage site ( the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona ) . The Glarus Alps extend well beyond the canton of Glarus , including parts of the cantons of Uri , Graubünden , and St Gallen . Conversely , not all the mountains in the canton of Glarus are part of the Glarus Alps , with those to the north of the Urner Boden and to the west of the valley of the river Linth considered to be part of the Schwyz Alps .
The Sarganserland is a constituency ( Wahlkreis ) of the canton of St. Gallen , Switzerland , with a population of 36,892 ( as of 2008 [ update ] ) . The constituency corresponds to the historical county of Sargans ( 13th to 15th century ) and the later Landvogtei Sargans in the Old Swiss Confederacy ( 15th to 18th century ) . Part of the Canton of Linth in the Helvetic Republic , the Sarganserland together with Pfäfers was joined to the canton of St. Gallen at its formation in 1803 . Geographically , it includes the land between the Rhine at Sargans ( the tripoint of St. Gallen , Grisons and Liechtenstein ) and upper Lake Walen , including the Seeztal . The territory of Pfäfers lies along the Tamina , in the Rhine basin , and was not historically part of Sargans county but was independently owned by Pfäfers Abbey , and had been joined to the canton of Linth in 1798 .
Piz Dolf ( Romansh ) or Trinserhorn ( German ) is a mountain of the Glarus Alps , located on the border between the cantons of St. Gallen and Graubünden . Piz Sardona is to the north across a glacier , and to its west Piz Segnas . Both Piz Segnas and Piz Dolf show the line of the Glarus thrust in its upper part . The easiest access to the area is an aerial cableway to Fil de Cassons from Flims or any of various hikes to this ridge lying southeast of Piz Dolf . One route uses the ascent via Val Bargis ( the path can be seen on the picture ( right ) crossing the southern face of Piz Dolf in vegetation ) .
The Pizol is a mountain in the Glarus Alps of northeastern Switzerland , overlooking Wangs in the canton of St. Gallen . At 2,844 metres above sea level , it is the highest summit of the chain separating the valleys of the Seez and the Tamina rivers , and the highest mountain lying entirely within the canton of St. Gallen . There are five mountain lakes ( Pizolseen ) on Pizol : Wangsersee at Pizolhütte , Wildsee , Schottensee , Schwarzsee ( 2368 m ) and Baschalvasee ( 2174 m ) . A small cirque glacier , the Pizolgletscher , lies above 2,600 metres on the northern side of the mountain . Pizol Hut lies at 2,227 metres ( 7,306 ft ) . On 22 September 2019 , a 'funeral ' and mourning ceremony was held for the Pizol glacier which had disappeared due to rising temperatures . A similar ceremony had been held in August when the Okjökull glacier in Iceland disappeared .
The Calanda is a mountain in the Glarus Alps with two main peaks Haldensteiner Calanda ( highest ) and Felsberger Calanda ( 2697 m ) , both located on the border between the cantons of St. Gallen and Graubünden in eastern Switzerland . It looms over Chur , the capital city of Graubünden . Although other peaks with 286 metres Topographic prominence ( for the Felsberger Calanda ) would claim to be called mountain on their own , within this massive it is commonly spoken of only one mountain with different peaks due to its sole position - cut off by an old route of the Rhine river through Tamina Valley to its northwestern face and the actual Rhine Valley to the south and east . The name Calanda derives from the Latin calare , roughly meaning roll down , which refers to the ever-moving southern face that can be seen at Felsberg and is still an active rock slide .
The Foostock , also known as the Ruchen , is a mountain of the Glarus Alps , located on the border between the Swiss cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen . It lies north of Piz Sardona , on the range that separates the Sernftal from the Weisstannental . The Foostock lies between two passes that carry hiking trails between the cantons of St. Gallen and Glarus . The Foo Pass lies to the south of the Foostock and carries a trail from Weisstannen in St. Gallen to Elm in Glarus , forming part of the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans to Montreux . The less well known Riseten Pass lies to the north of the Foostock and links Weisstannen with Matt in Glarus .
The Magerrain is a mountain of the Glarus Alps , located on the border between the cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland . Reaching an elevation of 2,524 metres above sea level , the Magerrain is the highest summit of the range north of the Walabützer Furggle ( 2,167 m ) and the Risitenpass ( 2,189 m ) . The closest locality is Engi on the south side .
At 2,501.9 metres above sea level , Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland . It is also the culminating point of the whole Appenzell Alps , between Lake Walen and Lake Constance . Shared by three cantons , the mountain is a highly visible landmark thanks to its exposed northerly position within the Alpstein massif . As a consequence , houses called Säntisblick ( English : Säntis view ) can be found in regions as far away as the Black Forest in Germany . Säntis is among the most prominent summits in the Alps and the most prominent summit in Europe with an observation deck on the top . The panorama from the summit is spectacular . Six countries can be seen if the weather allows : Switzerland , Germany , Austria , Liechtenstein , France , and Italy .
