Blinnenhorn, Alpine summit in Lepontine Alps, Switzerland
The Blinnenhorn rises to 3374 meters above sea level, featuring a northern subsidiary peak called Klein Blinnenhorn at 3215 meters elevation.
British painter and mountaineer Arthur Cust completed the first recorded ascent of Blinnenhorn in autumn 1881, marking the beginning of Alpine exploration in this area.
The mountain carries two names, Blinnenhorn in German-speaking Switzerland and Corno Cieco in Italian-speaking regions, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Alpine border region.
Climbers can access the summit from Swiss territory through Capanna Corno Gries SAC or from Italy via Rifugio Claudio e Bruno and Rifugio Città di Busto.
The Gries Glacier flows northeast from the mountain's eastern face for 4 kilometers toward Griessee, creating a remarkable glacial landscape in the region.
