Fründenhorn

Fründenhorn rises to 3,369 meters in the Bernese Alps, presenting vertical rock faces and glacier formations overlooking Lake Oeschinen from its elevated position.

The mountain entered alpinism history on June 30, 1862, when climbers completed the first documented ascent to its challenging summit through glacier passages.

This peak forms part of the traditional mountaineering routes in the Bernese Alps, where generations of Swiss climbers developed advanced climbing techniques.

Reaching the summit requires winter climbing equipment, including crampons and ice axes, plus experience navigating steep terrain and glacier sections under variable conditions.

The mountain stands directly above Lake Oeschinen, creating a vertical drop of 1,800 meters from its peak to the surface of the alpine lake.
