Blüemlisalp

Blümlisalp is a mountain in the Bernese Alps that rises to 3,661 meters at its highest point. The massif features steep rock faces on its southeast side and several prominent peaks arranged along a ridge system.

The mountain was first climbed on August 27, 1860, by a party including Leslie Stephen and experienced guide Melchior Anderegg. This ascent marked an important moment in the history of mountaineering in the Alps.

The mountain stands as a symbol of Swiss Alpine mountaineering traditions, drawing climbers who seek to test their abilities on its varied terrain.

The standard approach begins at Blümlisalphütte at 2,840 meters, where visitors should have proper climbing equipment and glacier experience. Steep sections require technical climbing skills and confidence on rocky terrain.

The summit marks a quadruple divide point between Little Toba River, Hunaechin Creek, Sims Creek, and Clendinning Glacier waterways.
