Grünhorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Grünhorn rises to an elevation of 4043.5 meters within the Bernese Alps, featuring steep glacial flanks and exposed rocky sections along its ridges.
The first recorded ascent of Grünhorn occurred in 1865, during a period when mountaineers were actively exploring and documenting the Swiss Alps peaks.
Mountain guides from local Swiss villages maintain traditional climbing techniques and safety protocols specific to the Grünhorn's challenging terrain.
Climbers typically access the summit via the Konkordia Hut, following a route that traverses the Grünegg Glacier before ascending the southwest ridge.
The mountain presents different climbing experiences across seasons, with spring allowing ski ascents while summer requires technical glacier navigation skills.
