Chüebodenhorn, Mountain summit at 3070 meters in Valais and Ticino, Switzerland

Chüebodenhorn is a mountain summit at 3070 meters (10,075 feet) located between the cantons of Valais and Ticino in the Swiss Alps. The peak displays rocky granite sections alongside seasonal snow and ice formations that create a varied landscape.

The sources record no first ascent for the Chüebodenhorn; the 1875 claim attributed to William Augustus Brevoort Coolidge is unsupported. The peak stands on the border ridge between Ticino and Valais, south of Passo di Rotondo, and is the second-highest summit of the Rotondo group in the Lepontine Alps.

This summit sits where Swiss German and Italian-speaking communities meet, making it a natural boundary between two Alpine regions. The mountain reflects this cultural division through its bilingual place names and local traditions.

The hike starts from Ospizio All'Acqua at 1614 meters (5,295 feet) and passes through Capanna Piansecco on the way to the summit. Plan for about 8 hours of climbing and bring proper mountain gear, as conditions change quickly at altitude.

The Ghiacciaio del Pizzo Rotondo lies at the foot of the north face, just south of Passo di Rotondo (2,754 m). The south side, in Ticino, drops toward the Bedretto valley, so the two faces of the mountain belong to different cantons and different drainage basins.
