Silberhorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Silberhorn rises to 3,695 meters with a pyramid shape, positioned northwest of the Jungfrau peak in the Bernese Alps mountain range.
The first successful climb to Silberhorn's summit occurred in August 1863 when MM. Badeker and v. Fellenberg, accompanied by Grindelwald guides, ascended via Guggi Glacier.
Author J.R.R. Tolkien referenced Silberhorn in his correspondence from 1968, noting it served as inspiration for the Silvertine mountain in his literary works.
Summer months provide optimal climbing conditions on Silberhorn, with detailed topographical maps and weather forecasts essential for safe navigation through its routes.
The Silberhornsprung jump on the World Cup Lauberhorn downhill skiing course offers television viewers direct views of this remarkable mountain peak.
