Hahnen, Mountain summit in Engelberg, Switzerland
Hahnen is a rocky peak near Engelberg in Switzerland that rises steeply through pathless terrain and natural rock holds. The summit offers limited space at the top with views across the surrounding valley and mountain ranges.
The peak has long served as a key landmark for hikers and mountaineers navigating the Alpine region. Its significance in mountain climbing traditions has endured through generations.
The Swiss Alpine Club classifies the Hahnen ascent between T5 and T6 difficulty levels, reflecting the technical standards of Swiss mountaineering traditions.
The climb demands good climbing skills and sure footwork since ropes and marked trails are absent. The height and steepness require stamina and a head for heights from visitors.
Iron rods were installed at critical points to enhance safety but serve only for anchoring, not as climbing aids like a via ferrata route. This minimal support preserves the wild character of the peak.
