Wellhorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Wellhorn summit rises to 3,191 meters above sea level, featuring steep limestone cliffs and the Rosenlaui Glacier on its eastern side.
The primary summit of the Wellhorn was first conquered by mountaineers on July 31, 1866, marking a milestone in Alpine exploration.
Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional climbing routes on the Wellhorn, preserving technical knowledge passed down through generations of Swiss climbers.
Access to the Wellhorn begins in Meiringen, with regular transport connections from Zurich and Bern, leading to the base village of Rosenlaui.
The mountain contains three distinct peaks, including the main Wellhorn at 3,191 meters and two smaller summits known as Kleines Wellhorn North and South.
