Alphubel, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Alphubel reaches an elevation of 4,206 meters and features a large ice-covered plateau that forms part of the Fee Glacier.
Leslie Stephen and T.W. Hinchliff completed the first ascent of Alphubel on August 9, 1860, with guides Melchior Anderegg and Peter Perren.
The mountain's name originates from Alemannic language, where 'Hubel' translates to 'hill', reflecting its appearance from certain perspectives.
Mountaineers can access the summit through the normal route from Berghaus Längflue, crossing the Fee Glacier in a 4-5 hour climb.
The eastern face presents a massive glaciated structure with an extended summit plateau, while the western side reveals steep rocky cliffs.
