Lagginhorn

The Lagginhorn reaches an elevation of 4,010 meters, featuring a steep path through loose scree and occasional short climbing sections along its routes.

The initial ascent of Lagginhorn occurred on August 26, 1856, when Johann Joseph Imseng, Franz Joseph Andenmatten, and Edward Levi Ames led a team to the peak.

The mountain represents a central element in Swiss alpine heritage, drawing mountaineers who seek to conquer the peaks of the Walliser Alps region.

Climbers can start their journey from Saas Grund, utilizing either the hiking path to Weissmieshütte or the cable car system to Hohsaas station.

Among the 4,000-meter peaks in the Alps, Lagginhorn stands out as potentially the only one accessible without crampons during snow-free conditions at high elevations.
