Brunnethorn, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
Brunnethorn is a mountain summit in the Pennine Alps of Valais that reaches 2,952 meters elevation. The peak displays steep slopes and characteristic rock formations typical of high Alpine terrain in this region.
The mountain was shaped through tectonic processes during the formation of the Alps millions of years ago. These geological events created the structures and appearance of the landscape we see today.
Local mountaineering clubs maintain detailed records of ascents to Brunnethorn, contributing to the documentation of Swiss Alpine climbing achievements.
Access to the summit is available through marked trails starting from Oberems, with summer months providing the most favorable climbing conditions. Hikers should prepare for Alpine conditions and bring appropriate gear.
The mountain stands north of Bella Tola and has a prominence of 131 meters above its surrounding terrain. This geographic position gives it status as a distinct summit worth climbing in its own right.
