Aletschhorn, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Aletschhorn rises to 4,193 meters in elevation, featuring steep rocky sections and multiple glacial routes that lead to its commanding peak point.
Francis Fox Tuckett completed the first recorded ascent of the Aletschhorn on June 18, 1859, accompanied by guides Johann Joseph Bennen, Peter Bohren, and V. Tairraz.
The mountain stands within the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the geological and natural significance of the Swiss Alpine region.
Climbers require two days to reach the summit, with access routes starting from the towns of Fiesch or Bettmeralp, necessitating proper alpine equipment.
The Aletschhorn connects to the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier formation in the Alps, creating distinctive climbing conditions across different seasonal periods.
