Schnidehorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
Schnidehorn is a 2937 meter alpine peak situated between Bern and Valais. The mountain offers ski touring routes and is accessible to mountaineers from both regions.
The Schnidejoch pass near the mountain has been used since ancient times by herders and merchants as a connecting route. This historic crossing still links the two valley regions today.
The mountain is part of the popular Wildhorn skiing area, where winter sports enthusiasts regularly pass through and experience the landscape. The region has a long tradition of ski touring that visitors continue to practice today.
The mountain is best accessed in winter with ski touring boots following marked routes. Snow conditions should be checked before heading up, as snowfall and avalanche risk are common.
The mountain has two completely different sides: a gentle slope from the Bernese side and a steep rock face from Valais. This geological feature fascinates mountaineers who wish to experience both perspectives.
