Sasseneire, Mountain peak in Pennine Alps, Switzerland.

The Sasseneire mountain rises to 3,254 meters between the valleys of Hérens and Anniviers, presenting different profiles from various observation points.

The mountain's name derives from local dialect meaning black rock, reflecting the geological composition of this Alpine elevation in the Valais region.

Swiss author Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz incorporated Sasseneire into his literary works during the 1930s, exploring themes of human interaction with nature.

Climbers can start their ascent from Moiry Dam at 2,249 meters, following a marked path through Col de Torrent to reach the summit.

The journey to Sasseneire summit requires navigation between two peaks across a stone boulder section near the top at 3,254 meters.
