With an elevation of 2,051 metres above sea level, it is the culminating point of the chain named Sigriswilergrat.

The ridge is located about 12 km east of Thun.

Sigriswilergrat was formed by the Helvetic System over the course of approximately 160 million years.

From a geological point of view Sigriswilergrat was formed of Helvetic sediments, these were deposited between approximately 225 to 66 million years ago.
