Ewigschneehorn

Ewigschneehorn is a summit in the Bernese Alps standing at approximately 3300 meters with steep rock walls and permanent snow coverage year-round. The exposed rock faces and icy conditions make it a challenging peak in this mountain region.

The mountain attracted climbers from the 19th century onward as alpine mountaineering developed in the Bernese Alps. Local communities in the region have long viewed high peaks as natural landmarks shaping their landscape.

The mountain holds significance in Swiss alpine traditions, with local folklore connecting the Oberhasli region's heritage to Scandinavian influences through generations.

Climbing this peak requires solid alpine experience, specialized gear, and knowledge of snow and ice conditions. Best climbing seasons are the summer months when snow-covered slopes are most manageable.

The Gauligletscher glacier sits nearby and displays the ongoing transformation of ice landscapes as glaciers slowly recede due to climate shifts. This gradual change is often overlooked by visitors but reshapes the region's appearance noticeably over time.
