Vordre Zinggenstock, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Vorderer Zinggenstock reaches an elevation of 2,915 meters and marks the eastern end of ridges separating the Oberaar and Unteraar valleys.
The mountain became a point of geological interest in 1719 when researchers discovered a significant mineral cleft containing calcite and fluorite deposits.
The peak represents an integral part of the Bernese Oberland mountaineering heritage, serving as a reference point for alpinists crossing the region.
Access to Vorderer Zinggenstock requires technical climbing skills and equipment, with the nearest base point located in the municipality of Interlaken-Oberhasli.
The summit stands at the junction of the Unteraar glacier and Grimselsee lake, creating a natural barrier between these two water formations.
