Strahlhorn, Alpine summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland.
The Strahlhorn mountain rises 4,190 meters above sea level between the Mattertal and Saastal valleys, forming part of the Mischabel mountain group.
Edmund Smyth, Ulrich Lauener, and Franz-Josef Andenmatten completed the first documented ascent of Strahlhorn on August 15, 1854, establishing its mountaineering significance.
The mountain name derives from German 'strahlen', reflecting the sunlight effects on its snow-covered peak throughout changing seasons in Swiss alpine regions.
Climbers access Strahlhorn through the Britannia mountain hut at 3,030 meters elevation, following routes along the Allalin Glacier toward the Adler Pass.
The Adlerpass near Strahlhorn has served as a crossing point since the 16th century when local residents searched for valuable crystals in upper mountain areas.
