Sparrhorn

The Sparrhorn reaches an elevation of 3,021 meters, offering views across the surrounding alpine landscapes from its summit in the Raron District.

The mountain stands within the former Republic of Wallis territory, which transformed into the canton of Valais following Switzerland's federal restructuring in 1848.

Local residents of Valais maintain mountaineering traditions through organized group climbs to Sparrhorn's summit, particularly during summer festivals and gatherings.

Hikers access Sparrhorn through marked trails from the Belalp cable car station, with routes suitable for various experience levels throughout the warmer months.

The mountain features both a summit cross at 3,021 meters and a separate monumental cross at 2,289 meters, creating two distinct destinations for visitors.
