Hinter Fiescherhorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
Hinter Fiescherhorn is an alpine peak in the Bernese Alps rising to 4,025 meters with dramatic rock faces and extensive glacier systems. The surrounding terrain displays a mix of bare stone, ice, and snow that shifts with the seasons.
The mountain was explored in the early 1900s by Swiss climbers who established multiple routes to its peak. These expeditions laid the foundation for the alpine tradition in the region that continues today.
Local mountain guides from Valais maintain regular expeditions to Hinter Fiescherhorn, passing their knowledge through specialized training programs.
The Konkordia Hut at 2,850 meters provides lodging and serves as a base for summit attempts on this route. Visitors should prepare for high alpine conditions and only ascend with experienced guides or as trained climbers.
The north face holds solid ice formations year-round due to its specific geographical position, with some never melting even at the height of summer. This makes the area a rare place where visitors can observe permanent ice masses within the Alps.
