Fiescher Gabelhorn

Fiescher Gabelhorn is an Alpine peak in the Bernese Alps standing at 3,876 meters (12,731 feet). Steep rock faces and glacial formations define its northern and eastern slopes.

First documented ascents occurred in the 19th century during alpinism's golden age. These climbs contributed to the development of Swiss mountaineering traditions.

The mountain stands as a testament to Swiss Alpine traditions, where local guides pass their knowledge of routes and climbing techniques through generations.

Summer months offer the best window for climbing attempts through established base camps. Technical skill and proper equipment are essential, along with guidance from experienced mountaineers.

From the summit, Konkordiaplatz is directly visible where multiple glacier streams merge. This location marks the largest glacial junction found in the European Alps.
