Chrinnenhorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
The Chrinnenhorn rises 2699 meters above sea level, featuring exposed rocky terrain and a steep trail leading to panoramic views of Grindelwald Valley.
The mountain gained recognition when the Gleckstein Hut, constructed in 1880, established a base for climbers attempting ascents in the Upper Grindelwald Glacier region.
Local mountaineers regularly gather at Gleckstein Hut before sunrise to begin their ascent of Chrinnenhorn, following traditional Alpine climbing patterns.
The ascent from Gleckstein Hut takes approximately 90 minutes, requiring sturdy hiking boots and proper equipment to navigate the unstable block field terrain.
During summer mornings, climbers on Chrinnenhorn witness ice chunks breaking off the Upper Glacier, creating thunderous echoes through the valley.
