Weissmies, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
The Weissmies rises to 4017 meters in elevation within the Pennine Alps, featuring multiple glaciers on its northeast, southeast, and west sides.
Jakob Christian Häusser and Peter Josef Zurbriggen made the first recorded ascent of the Weissmies in 1855, establishing a route through the Triftgrat.
The mountain's name translates to 'white moss' in the local dialect, reflecting the appearance of its snow-covered summit throughout the year.
Climbers typically access the mountain via the Hohsaas cableway, which transports them to an altitude of 3100 meters for the northwest route.
The mountain's elevation decreased from 4023 to 4017 meters due to glacial changes, affecting its position among Switzerland's highest peaks.
