Brüggerhorn, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland.

The Brüggerhorn is a mountain summit in Grisons that rises in the eastern Swiss Alps, offering views across multiple valleys and surrounding peaks. The peak anchors a section of alpine terrain known for its varied rock formations and accessible approach routes.

The Brüggerhorn takes its name from the old Arosa family Brucker/Brügger, who owned extensive land on its slopes. In 1911 the Skiclub Arosa built the Brüggerhornhütte (Ferdinandshütte) at 2330 m on the north foot for ski tourers; in 1930 the Weisshornhütte (today Sattelhütte) took over its role. A 1938 ski lift was replaced in 1970 by the two-seater Brüggerhorn chairlift, itself rebuilt in summer 2019 as a six-seater with weather hoods.

The name comes from the old Arosa family Brucker or Brügger, who owned extensive land on the Brüggerhorn and no longer live in the village. Since 28 May 1966 the summit, with Schafrügg and Schwarzsee, has been an absolute plant protection area.

The summit is reachable via marked trails from surrounding villages, with the best conditions occurring between June and September. Hikers should prepare for changing mountain weather and bring sturdy footwear along with layered clothing.
