Salbitschijen

Salbitschijen, Mountain summit in Uri Alps, Switzerland.

Salbitschijen is a 2986 m granite peak in the Urner Alps, north of the Göschenertal valley above Göscheneralpsee. Its summit carries the 15 m Salbit needle, climbed at grade V. Three ridges, west, south and east, lead to the top, and the south-east face of the lower Zwillingsturm holds many bolted granite routes.

The South Ridge was first climbed on 16 August 1935 by Alfred Amstad, Otto Amstad and Guido Masetto. The East Ridge had been climbed earlier, on 20 June 1920, by August and Hugo Müller. The West Ridge, long considered inaccessible, was first climbed in June 1948 by Ernest and Betty Favre with Louis-Maurice Henchoz.

The Salbitschijen mountain forms part of Switzerland's rich alpine climbing heritage, attracting mountaineers from numerous countries to test their skills.

Access to the mountain is through Salbithütte, which serves as the main starting point. Proper climbing gear and safety equipment are required for any ascent attempt.

On 12 June 2023 the Swiss climber Dani Arnold soloed all three ridges of the Salbitschijen in 9 hours, 36 minutes and 55 seconds, starting and finishing at the Salbithütte and covering 2,311 metres of ascent over 8.48 kilometres. On 6 October 2023 Yannick Glatthard and Simon Wahli linked the West, South and East Ridges as a rope team in 5 hours and 53 minutes.
