Nadelhorn, Alpine summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland.
The Nadelhorn reaches 4,327 meters in elevation and features three ridges that meet at its sharp summit in the Swiss Alps.
The first ascent of Nadelhorn occurred on September 16, 1858, when climbers Franz Andenmatten, Baptiste Epiney, Aloys Supersaxo, and Joseph Zimmermann reached the peak.
The name Nadelhorn derives from an oval hole located near the summit, visible from Festijoch col during the Dom mountain ascent.
Mountaineers access the peak through the Bordier hut during winter ski expeditions, while summer routes require proper climbing equipment and acclimatization.
The mountain contains a natural hole through its rock structure beneath the summit, through which sunlight passes on specific days of the year.
