Hübschhorn

The Hübschhorn rises to an elevation of 3,192 meters within the Lepontine Alps, featuring two distinct summits connected by a boulder-strewn ridge.

The Simplon Hospiz, constructed in 1811 under Napoleon's directive, serves as the primary base for mountaineers ascending the Hübschhorn throughout the year.

The mountain stands as a testament to Swiss alpine traditions, attracting climbers who follow various routes ranging from moderate to technical difficulties.

Access to Hübschhorn begins at Col du Simplon at 2,008 meters, with the ascent covering approximately 1,200 meters through marked pathways and steep terrain.

The mountain's southwest orientation provides direct views of the Weissmies group, while its geological formation consists predominantly of metamorphic rock formations.
