Hockenhorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Hockenhorn reaches an elevation of 3,293 meters between the upper Kandertal and Lötschental valleys in the Swiss Alps region.
Arthur Thomas Malkin completed the first documented climb of Hockenhorn in August 1840, establishing its presence in Alpine mountaineering records.
The mountain spans the linguistic border between German-speaking Bern Canton and French-speaking Valais, representing Switzerland's multicultural character.
Visitors can reach the summit through a marked trail starting at Lötschen Pass, with the Berggasthaus Heimritz offering accommodations along the route.
The Milibachgletscher glacier covers the southern face of Hockenhorn, creating distinct winter sports opportunities on the Valais canton side.
