Grosshorn

The Grosshorn rises to 3,754 meters between the cantons of Bern and Valais, forming part of the prominent Lauterbrunnen Wall in Switzerland.

Early mountaineers established multiple climbing routes on the Grosshorn's faces during the golden age of alpinism in the nineteenth century.

Local climbing communities maintain detailed records of ascents on the Grosshorn's north face, documenting achievements spanning multiple generations of mountaineers.

The Schmadrihütte mountain shelter, located 1,936 meters northwest of the summit, serves as the primary base for climbers attempting the Grosshorn routes.

The north face of the Grosshorn extends 1,200 meters upward, presenting technical ice climbing routes that require extended periods of continuous climbing.
