Wildhorn

The Wildhorn stands 3,250 meters above sea level, forming a glaciated massif that extends between the Sanetsch Pass and Rawil Pass in Switzerland.

Gottlieb Samuel Studer completed the first documented climb of the Wildhorn summit in September 1843, establishing its place in Swiss mountaineering records.

The Swiss Alpine Club maintains the Wildhornhütte mountain shelter at 2,303 meters elevation, serving as a central point for mountaineers exploring the region.

Climbers need to plan routes considering the glacial terrain, with different approaches available from the municipalities of Lauenen, Savièse, and Ayent.

The mountain features distinct vegetation patterns, with forests reaching 1,800 meters on northern slopes while southern faces support higher altitude growth patterns.
