Rote Nase, Mountain summit near Gornergrat, Valais, Switzerland.
The 3,251-meter summit stands in the Pennine Alps, providing views across glacial valleys and neighboring peaks in the Monte Rosa massif.
The cable car system connecting Hohtälli to Rote Nase was installed in 1986, marking a new era of accessibility for mountaineers and winter sports enthusiasts.
The German name Rote Nase, meaning Red Nose, reflects the local linguistic heritage of the Valais region where German remains a primary language.
Access to the summit requires either using the T-bar lift from lower sections or taking the cable car system that operates from the Hohtälli station.
The mountain features several ungroomed ski runs that descend its slopes, offering experienced skiers opportunities for off-piste adventures in natural snow conditions.
