Grosses Engelhorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland.

Grosses Engelhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps that rises between the Reichenbachtal and Urbachtal valleys. At 2,782 meters, it stands as a distinct peak within this alpine landscape.

The sources record no first ascent for the Grosses Engelhorn; the 1876 date in earlier descriptions is not supported. The summit reaches 2,781 metres on the border between Innertkirchen and Schattenhalb in the canton of Bern, about 65 kilometres southeast of Bern. It is one of the highest summits of the Engelhörner, the chain between the Reichenbachtal and the Urbachtal.

The Engelhörner chain between the Reichenbachtal and Urbachtal is a climbing area rather than a walking destination; the Grosses Engelhorn is one of its highest summits. Its routes are reached from Innertkirchen and the surrounding valleys, and the peak is climbed with guides or rope teams rather than by marked paths.

Reaching this summit demands advanced climbing skills, as there are no marked hiking trails to follow. Visitors should arrange a guide and prepare for technical climbing challenges.

The Engelhörner chain, between the Reichenbachtal and Urbachtal, is named for the Engel (angels) of local legend; the Grosses Engelhorn is its highest summit at 2,781 m, on the boundary between Innertkirchen and Schattenhalb.
