Tschingelhorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland.

The Tschingelhorn rises to 3,555 meters between the Lauterbrunnen and Lötschental valleys, featuring two distinct summits separated by a deep notch at 3,445 meters.

The first mountaineers to reach Tschingelhorn's summit on September 6, 1865, were Heinrich Feuz, W. H. Hawker, and the brothers Ulrich and Christian Lauener.

The Tschingelhorn stands within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of the Bernese Alps, marking the border between the Swiss cantons of Bern and Valais.

Climbers access the mountain through the Mutthorn Hut at 2,898 meters, requiring glacier travel and early morning departures to navigate safer snow conditions.

A climbing dog named Tschingel, who completed eleven first ascents in the Alps, received her name from this mountain and became an honorary Alpine Club member.
