Morgenberghorn

Morgenberghorn is a mountain peak in the northern Bernese Alps with steep rocky slopes and several hiking trails at different elevations. The terrain alternates between rocky sections and green alpine meadows that offer different landscapes depending on the season.

The mountain formed a natural boundary between the Frutigen and Lauterbrunnen valleys, shaping the historical division of Swiss territories. This geographic location made it an important landmark in regional development.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular guided expeditions to Morgenberghorn, teaching traditional Alpine climbing techniques to new generations.

Hikers can reach the mountain from Aeschiried via marked trails, with summer months offering the best conditions for the ascent. During this period, most paths are snow-free and day hikes are easily manageable.

From the summit, visitors can see Lake Thun clearly in the northern direction, marking this spot as the end of a prominent Alpine ridge. This viewpoint is particularly striking during clear weather and offers a rare perspective on the surrounding landscape.
