Zumsteinspitze, Alpine summit in Monte Rosa massif, Switzerland.

The Zumsteinspitze reaches 4,563 meters in elevation, making it the third-highest peak in the Monte Rosa massif between Dufourspitze and Signalkuppe.

Joseph Zumstein, along with Joseph and Johann Vincent, conducted the first documented ascent of the summit on August 1, 1820.

The mountain stands as a monument to early Alpine exploration, with Joseph Zumstein contributing to both mountaineering and wildlife conservation efforts.

Climbers must access the summit through established routes from the Monte Rosa hut, requiring professional mountain guides due to glacier conditions.

The peak holds distinction as the first summit of the Monte Rosa massif to combine scientific research with mountaineering expeditions.
