Schreckhorn, Alpine mountain peak in Grindelwald, Switzerland.
The Schreckhorn stands at 4,078 meters elevation between the Upper and Lower Grindelwald Glacier, marking the northernmost four-thousander in the European Alps.
Leslie Stephen completed the first recorded ascent of Schreckhorn on August 16, 1861, accompanied by Ulrich Kaufmann, Christian Michel, and Peter Michel.
The Schreckhorn represents a significant achievement for mountaineers as it requires advanced technical climbing skills and extensive preparation for successful ascents.
The mountain can be accessed from three different mountain huts: the Schreckhorn Hut at 2,520 meters, the Gleckstein Hut at 2,317 meters, and the Lauteraar Hut.
The mountain holds the distinction of being the highest peak located entirely within the canton of Bern, with a prominence of 793 meters.
