Augstmatthorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
The Augstmatthorn reaches an elevation of 2,137 meters and forms part of the Emmental Alps, presenting steep cliffs that overlook Lake Brienz.
The Alpine Game Park Interlaken-Harder established the first colony of Alpine ibex on Augstmatthorn in 1913, initiating a successful species reintroduction program.
The mountain stands within a Federal Wildlife Protection Area of 15,900 hectares, designated by BirdLife International for its environmental significance.
Three primary hiking routes lead to the summit, with the Lombachalp trail offering the most moderate option at 6.3 kilometers and 576 meters elevation gain.
The mountain serves as a natural habitat for diverse Alpine wildlife, including golden eagles, chamois, black grouse, ptarmigan, and a thriving ibex population.
