Tannhorn, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland

The Tannhorn mountain stands at 2,221 meters elevation within the Emmental Alps, featuring steep slopes and natural rock formations along its ridgeline path.

The mountain summit has marked the territorial boundary between the cantons of Bern and Lucerne since the formation of modern Switzerland in 1848.

Local shepherds from Brienz, Oberried am Brienzersee, and Flühli maintain traditional alpine farming practices on the mountain slopes during summer months.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails from multiple starting points, with the Chruterenpass route offering the most direct ascent.

The mountain represents the southernmost geographical point of Canton Lucerne while providing views over Lake Brienz from its prominent position.
