Daubenhorn

The Daubenhorn reaches an elevation of 2,942 meters and forms a notable peak in the Bernese Alps between Gemmi Pass and Rinderhorn.

Since the establishment of modern ski infrastructure in the region, the Daubenhorn has transformed from a remote peak into an accessible destination for mountaineers.

The mountain features Switzerland's largest via ferrata route, extending 2,600 meters in length with 216 meters of metal ladders for technical climbing.

Visitors can access the mountain through the Gemmi cable car from Leukerbad, reducing the ascent time and providing a starting point at 2,314 meters.

The adjacent Daubensee, a glacial lake without visible outlets, remains frozen for seven months each year at the mountain's base.
