Allalinhorn

The Allalinhorn rises prominently in the Pennine Alps, featuring glaciated terrain and offering clear views of surrounding peaks including Dom and Weisshorn mountains.

Edward Levi Ames completed the first documented climb of Allalinhorn in 1856, guided by priests Johann Josef Imseng and Franz Josef Andenmatten.

The mountain stands near Saas Fee, where local communities maintain traditional alpine practices through generations, including specific climbing techniques and routes.

Climbers can access the mountain via cable cars to Mittelallalin station at 3,457 meters, reducing the final ascent to approximately 630 meters.

The mountain presents one of the most direct routes to a 4,000-meter summit in the Alps, with a relatively straightforward northwest flank approach.
