Unterrothorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland
The Unterrothorn rises to 3,104 meters above sea level, offering views of Zermatt and stands west of the Oberrothorn in the Swiss Pennine Alps.
The mountain has maintained its position as a central point for alpine activities since the development of Swiss tourism in the nineteenth century.
Local mountain guides share their knowledge of Alpine traditions while leading groups through marked paths to reach the mountain's peak throughout the year.
Visitors can access the summit via a modern cable car system that connects Sunnegga to Blauherd, operating during both winter and summer seasons.
The mountain features a key col named Furggji at 2,981 meters, creating a natural passage between the peaks of the surrounding Pennine Alps.
