Stecknadelhorn, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
The Stecknadelhorn stands at 4,241 meters elevation, forming part of the Nadelgrat ridge within the Pennine Alps mountain range above Saas Fee.
Mountaineers Oscar Eckenstein and Matthias Zurbriggen completed the first documented ascent of Stecknadelhorn on August 8, 1887, establishing its place in Alpine history.
The German name Stecknadelhorn translates to 'pin horn', referring to the mountain's needle-like shape within the Mischabel group of the Swiss Alps.
Climbers access Stecknadelhorn via the Mischabel Hut at 3,340 meters, requiring a four-hour hike from Saas Fee with an elevation gain of 1,550 meters.
The mountain features a prominence of 27 meters and connects to neighboring peaks Nadelhorn and Hohberghorn along the high-altitude Nadelgrat ridge.
