Ulrichshorn, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland.
The Ulrichshorn peak rises to 3,925 meters between the Mattertal and Saastal valleys, offering views toward the northeast face of Lenzspitze and Nadelgrat.
The Mischabelhütten mountain refuge, established near Ulrichshorn, has provided shelter for mountaineers accessing the summit through the Hohbalm Glacier route for generations.
Swiss Alpine mountaineering traditions continue at Ulrichshorn, where climbers gather at mountain huts before attempting the technical ascent through glacial terrain.
Access to Ulrichshorn requires a four-hour hike from Saas Fee to Mischabelhütten, covering 1,540 meters of elevation gain on marked mountain paths.
The summit contains a sitting bench for mountaineers, positioned at the convergence point of three glaciers: the Hohbalm, Fall, and Ried glaciers.
