Bäderhorn, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland

Bäderhorn is a mountain summit in the Bernese Alps situated between the Jaun and Simmental valleys. The peak displays typical Alpine features with rocky ridges and meadows covering the lower slopes.

The Bäderhorn lies on the range between the Jaun and Simmental valleys, north of the Jaun Pass in the canton of Bern. The sources record no historical events, boundary role or 19th-century cantonal fixing for the summit; its documented facts are its 2,009 m elevation and its position in the Bernese Alps.

The name Bäderhorn refers to baths (Bäder) on the horn or peak, a reference to the thermal springs that gave the nearby Jaun Pass area its name. The pass below the mountain has long been used by travellers crossing between the Jaun and Simmental valleys, and the mountain's name preserves this association with bathing and passage.

The route is well marked and passes through meadows and Alpine pastures. No special equipment is needed, but sturdy footwear and layered clothing for changing mountain conditions will make your visit more comfortable.

The Bäderhorn reaches 2,009 m, a modest height that makes it the highest point on the ridge between the Jaun and Simmental valleys north of the Jaun Pass. Its slopes receive an average of 1,471 mm of precipitation a year, so hikers should expect wet ground even in settled weather.
