Schinhorn

The Schinhorn rises to an elevation of 3,797 meters, featuring sharp ridges and a northeastern subpeak called Distlighorn at 3,716 meters.

The first recorded ascent of Schinhorn took place on August 30, 1869, when E. J. Häberlin, Johann von Weissenfluh, and Andreas von Weissenfluh reached its peak.

The mountain reflects Switzerland's mountaineering traditions, drawing climbers who seek technical challenges within the Bernese Alps range throughout the year.

Multiple climbing routes approach the summit from Lötschental valley to the north and Oberaletsch valley to the south, requiring advanced mountaineering skills.

The mountain's location between Lötschental and Oberaletsch valleys provides direct views of the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier formation in the Alps.
