Strahlhorn, Alpine summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland

The Strahlhorn reaches 4,190 meters in elevation, standing between the valleys of Saas and Zermatt near the Swiss-Italian border.

The mountain received its first recorded ascent on August 15, 1854, when a group led by the Smyth brothers successfully reached the peak.

Local Swiss mountaineering traditions center around Strahlhorn's routes, with generations of guides passing their knowledge to aspiring climbers through the seasons.

Climbers access the mountain through Britannia Hut at 3,030 meters, utilizing the Metro-Alpin lift system from Saas Fee for initial transportation.

The summit connects to multiple glacier systems, including the Findeln Glacier to the southwest and Allalin Glacier to the north.
