Geltenhorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
Geltenhorn rises to an elevation of 3,065 meters between the cantons of Valais and Bern, featuring steep slopes and the Geltengletscher glacier.
The mountain gained recognition among alpinists during the 19th century when Swiss mountaineers established the first documented routes to its summit.
