Arnenhorn

The Arnenhorn rises between the cantons of Vaud and Bern, featuring steep limestone cliffs and alpine meadows across its slopes.

The mountain stands as a natural boundary marker since 1803, when Vaud became an independent canton separating from Bernese authority.

Local shepherds maintain traditional alpine farming practices around Arnenhorn, moving their cattle between seasonal pastures according to elevation.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails starting from Arnensee, with the ascent taking approximately four hours during summer months.

The eastern face of Arnenhorn creates a natural amphitheater that reflects sound waves, producing distinct echo patterns across the valley.
