Seehorn, Mountain summit in Diemtigtal, Switzerland

The Seehorn is a mountain summit at 2281 meters in the Diemtigtal valley, located in the Bernese Oberland region with steep slopes and Alpine vegetation. The south and east-facing slopes feature open Alpine pastures and rocky sections, while the higher areas become sparser and more barren.

The Seehorn rises on the range between the Simmental and the Diemtigtal, east of Zweisimmen and north of the Spillgerte. Its name appears on Swisstopo maps as "Seehore", the form used by locals. The mountain stands at 2,281 metres in the Bernese Prealps of the canton of Bern, above the rear of the Diemtigtal.

Locals and Swisstopo maps call the peak "Seehore". The route from the Seeberg mountain restaurant crosses cattle pastures and a light mountain forest of arolla pine, Scots pine and spruce before the fissured limestone summit. The Seebergsee lake below gives the mountain its name.

The summit is reachable from multiple starting points in the valley, with marked trails for navigation and the round trip taking about four hours. Sturdy hiking boots and weather-resistant clothing are essential due to the elevation and changing conditions.

Locals and Swisstopo maps call the Seehorn "Seehore". Its limestone summit gives a 360-degree view of the Bernese Alps, the Niesen chain, the Spillgerten, the Gantrisch chain, the Stockhorn and the Seebergsee below.
