Schnidehorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland

The Schnidehorn rises to 2,937 meters above sea level, connecting the regions of Bern and Valais through a prominent ridge formation.

The Schnidejoch pass near the mountain served as a crossing point between Bern and Valais regions since ancient Alpine communities established trade routes.

The mountain forms part of the Western Oberland Traverse, where local mountaineers practice traditional Swiss Alpine skiing techniques throughout winter months.

Skiers access the summit via the Wildhorn Hut route, following markers through the Tungel Glacier before reaching the eastern descent toward Alpage de Rawil.

The mountain presents two different geographical profiles: a gradual slope on the Bernese side and a steep rocky face on the Valais boundary.
