Berggipfel in den Berchtesgadener Alpen, der zum Gebirgsstock  Untersberg gehört. Der Berchtesgadener Hochthron trennt die senkrechte Südwand vom sehr weitläufigem Hochplateau.

Nicht weit unterhalb des Gipfels befindet sich das Störhaus. Es wird vom DAV Berchtesgaden betrieben und ist neu renoviert.

Der Berchtesgadener Hochthron am Untersberg wird meist von Maria Gern über den Störweg oder von Hallthurm aus bestiegen.
