Hirli, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
The Hirli summit reaches an elevation of 2888.7 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes and natural meadows along its ascending paths.
The mountain paths around Hirli developed during the early phases of Alpine tourism in Switzerland, connecting Schwarzsee Lake to the Hornlihutte refuge.
Local mountain guides from Zermatt maintain traditional climbing routes on Hirli, passing their expertise through generations of mountaineering instructors.
Hikers can reach Hirli through a 40-minute trek from Schwarzsee, accessible via the Matterhorn Paradise gondola station at 2,583 meters elevation.
Metal stairs and fixed ropes integrated into the mountain trail system allow safe passage through eroded sections while preserving natural rock formations.
