Hohberghorn, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland

Hohberghorn is a mountain summit in the Pennine Alps reaching 4,218 meters elevation and forms part of the exposed Nadelgrat ridge. The peak sits between steep terrain with views across Saas-Fee and the Mattertal valley below.

The first ascent was made in August 1869 by R. B. Heathcote with guides Franz Biner, Peter Perren and Peter Taugwalder, via the west gully above the Hohberg Glacier to the Stecknadeljoch. The 4,218 m summit lies at the northern end of the Nadelgrat, and it is now mostly reached during a traverse of that ridge.

The Hohberghorn is mostly climbed as part of the traverse of the Nadelgrat, the high ridge running north from the Dom above Saas-Fee. Its north-east face, 320 m high at an average angle of 50 degrees, is shorter and less steep than the neighbouring Lenzspitze's and is used as training for that face.

Reaching this summit requires climbing experience and technical skill with mountaineering. The Mischabelhütte at 3,329 meters (10,922 feet) and the Bordierhütte at 2,886 meters (9,468 feet) provide shelter during summer for those planning ascents.

The north face offers technical rock climbing without ice seracs, attracting mountaineers who prefer less crowded routes in the area. Many visitors overlook this option compared to the busier glacier routes nearby.
