Cholfirst Radio Tower is a 96 metres tall lattice tower on Cholfirst Mountain at Flurlingen, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland.
The tower was built in 1973 by PTT on Cholfirst Mountain, a 570 metres high mountain near Flurlingen (47°40′51″N 8°38′48″E / 47.68083°N 8.64667°ECoordinates: 47°40′51″N 8°38′48″E / 47.68083°N 8.64667°E) after 3 years of successful operation of an experimental TV transmitter on channel 47 on a 40 metres high tower nearby. The construction of Cholfirst Radio Tower cost 7 millions Swiss Francs. On request of Flurlingen community it was equipped with an observation deck, accessible for tourists by stairway (no elevator) in a height of 42 metres, whose additional costs were paid by PTT.
