Hangendgletscherhorn, Alpine summit in Bern, Switzerland
The Hangendgletscherhorn rises to 3,292 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and a northern slope that overlooks the Gauli Glacier.
Johann Heinrich Weiss and Joachim Eugen Müller completed the first documented ascent of the Hangendgletscherhorn mountain peak in 1788.
The mountain serves as a reference point for alpine climbers in the Bernese Alps, attracting mountaineers from multiple European countries throughout the year.
Climbers can access the mountain through marked trails from Gaulihütte refuge at 2,205 meters, which provides essential shelter and supplies for expeditions.
The mountain displays distinct geological formations where the northern face meets the Gauli Glacier, creating patterns in the rock visible from distant viewpoints.
