Hohgant

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.

Local Swiss mountaineering groups regularly organize guided expeditions to Hohgant, teaching traditional Alpine climbing techniques to new generations.

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.

Beneath Hohgant runs an extensive cave system that stretches for considerable distances and attracts researchers. These underground structures form an important aspect of the mountain's geography and remind visitors of the hidden world below their feet.
