The Alvier is a mountain in the Appenzell Alps, located half-way between Lake Walenstadt and the Rhine in the canton of St. Gallen. It is one of the main summits of the chain separating the valleys of the Seez and the Rhine.

Although involving a long hike, the summit is easily accessible by trails from both sides.
