Bishorn, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland.
The Bishorn rises to 4,151 meters in elevation, featuring two summits connected by a 600-meter snow ridge in the Swiss Alps.
The western summit of Bishorn was first climbed by G. S. Barnes and R. Chessyre-Walker with guides Joseph Imboden and J. M. Chanton in 1884.
The Tracuit and Turtmann mountain huts serve as essential bases for mountaineers attempting to reach the summit throughout climbing seasons.
The north-west flank provides the standard climbing route, requiring basic mountaineering equipment including crampons, ice axes, and ropes for glacier travel.
The eastern summit, named Pointe Burnaby, stands at 4,134 meters and was first ascended by Elizabeth Burnaby with guides in May 1884.
