Rinderhorn

The Rinderhorn rises to 3,448 meters in elevation within the Bernese Alps, positioned east of Gemmi Pass and near the town of Leukerbad.

The mountain forms part of the geological formation of the Bernese Alps, which emerged through tectonic movements during the Alpine orogeny period.

Local mountaineering groups maintain specific routes and climbing traditions on Rinderhorn, establishing protocols for seasonal ascents through different paths.

Reaching the summit requires technical climbing skills and equipment, with the standard route starting from the Leukerbad cable car station through Daubensee.

The mountain contains a key col at 3,035 meters elevation, creating a natural passage that connects different valleys in the Valais region.
