Sustenhorn, Alpine summit in Uri Alps, Switzerland
Located between Bern and Uri cantons, the Sustenhorn reaches an elevation of 3,503 meters and consists primarily of metamorphic rock formations.
The first recorded ascent of the Sustenhorn took place in 1851 when mountaineers successfully reached the summit by approaching from the village of Innertkirchen.
The Sustenhorn represents a notable part of Swiss mountaineering tradition, with three Swiss Alpine Club huts providing accommodation for climbers throughout the seasons.
Climbers can access the summit through multiple routes, with the path from Tierbergli hut requiring approximately three hours to complete the ascent.
The mountain features two distinct glacial formations: the Stein Glacier on its western face and the Flachensteinfirn covering the eastern slopes.
