Krönten, Mountain summit in Uri, Switzerland
Krönten rises to 3,108 meters in the Urner Alps, featuring two summit towers separated by a deep ravine between the Erstfeld and Gorneren valleys.
The first recorded ascent of Krönten took place in 1868 when mountaineers J. Sowerby, J. M. Tresch, and A. Zgraggen reached its summit through challenging conditions.
The mountain stands as a testament to Swiss alpinism, attracting climbers who follow traditional routes while respecting local mountaineering practices and safety protocols.
Climbers begin their journey at Krönten hut at 1,903 meters, following a marked path through Obersee basin before navigating rocky steps and glacier sections.
The Krönten Leap presents a specific challenge where experienced climbers jump between the east and west summits across a 10-meter deep ravine.
