Hundshorn

Hundshorn is a mountain summit in the Bernese Alps positioned between the Kiental and Lauterbrunnen valleys. Its steep ridges and exposed terrain create a defined silhouette visible from many angles across the region.

Climbers first reached the summit in the mid-1800s as mountaineering became increasingly popular in Switzerland. These early ascents helped establish the peak as a recognized climbing route.

The Swiss Alpine Club maintains detailed guidelines and promotes responsible mountaineering practices for climbers accessing the Hundshorn summit and surrounding peaks.

The summit is accessible via marked trails but only suitable for experienced mountaineers. Summer offers the most stable weather conditions for safe climbing attempts.

The mountain stands out prominently within a densely packed alpine area containing hundreds of neighboring peaks. Its distinctive shape serves as an easy reference point for those navigating the region.
