Trifthorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Trifthorn rises 3,728 meters above sea level between the Ober Gabelhorn and Zinalrothorn peaks in the Pennine Alps range.
This mountainous formation emerged during the Alpine orogeny, when the African and European tectonic plates collided, creating the current Swiss Alps landscape.
The mountain represents a significant element of Swiss Alpine heritage, attracting mountaineers from multiple nations to test their climbing abilities.
Climbers reach the summit through established routes from Rothornhütte mountain hut, located 1,504 meters east of the peak.
The mountain maintains an isolation distance of 777 meters from its nearest higher neighbor, an unnamed peak at 3,839 meters elevation.
