Jegihorn

The Jägihorn rises to 3,206 meters above sea level, presenting steep rock faces and multiple climbing routes through the western Swiss Alps.

The mountain gained recognition during the 19th century when early Alpine explorers established the first documented climbing paths to reach its summit.

Local mountain guides from Valais maintain the via ferrata routes and teach traditional Alpine climbing techniques to visiting climbers throughout the season.

Climbers access the mountain through Saas-Grund village, using the Hohsaas cable car to reach the starting point of the via ferrata route.

The summit features a fixed-rope climbing route with 1,000 meters of steel cables, five ladders, and a steel bridge spanning across vertical rock sections.
