Augstbordhorn, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Augstbordhorn reaches an elevation of 2,971 meters, featuring rocky terrain with scree slopes and boulder fields across its alpine landscape.
The Swiss Alpine Club integrated this mountain into their network of hiking routes, establishing several paths to reach its prominent peak.
Local mountaineers maintain multiple shelters near the summit, preserving the Swiss tradition of providing safe refuges for alpine adventurers.
Hikers can start their ascent from various trailheads in Embd, Moosalp, or Brand/Unterbächen, all easily accessible from the transport hub of Visp.
During late spring, the mountain's lower grasslands transform into fields of Arnica montana flowers, creating natural botanical gardens at high altitude.
