Hohgant, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland

Hohgant is a mountain summit in the Bernese Alps that rises to approximately 2,200 meters. The peak features a mix of rocky ridges and grassy slopes, with varying terrain across its flanks.

Hohgant was shaped through geological processes over millions of years by layered limestone formations. The area has a long tradition as a destination for hikers and climbers from surrounding communities.

The name Hohgant is pronounced with a short, clipped first syllable, and the massif's highest point, at 2,197 m, is called Furggegütsch rather than Hohgant. The broad southern slopes with their mountain pine woods and alpine meadows have been grazed as alp pastures, while the northern side drops in broken rock walls. Since 1974 the whole area has been protected.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with good signage throughout the area. A mountain hut provides basic facilities and serves as a good starting point for multi-day trips in the region.

The Siebenhengste-Hohgant-Höhle, one of the largest cave systems on Earth, lies in the limestone beneath the massif. The F1 cave network on the mountain connects to the Siebenhengste system, and entrances of the F1 and K2 networks open in the Urgonian (Aptian) limestone.
