Fluchthorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland.

The Fluchthorn rises to 3795 meters within the Mischabel Group of the Pennine Alps, featuring steep slopes covered by the Allalin Glacier.

The mountain gained recognition in the mountaineering community during the late 19th century as climbers started exploring routes through the Mischabel range.

The Fluchthorn serves as a training ground for alpinists developing glacier navigation skills before attempting more technical peaks in the Pennine Alps.

Mountaineers reach the summit via the Britannia Hut route, which requires crossing the Hohlaub Glacier and ascending the eastern slopes during summer months.

The mountain presents clear views of both the Weisshorn and distant Bernese Alps while standing between major glacial formations of the Pennine range.
