Staldhorn, Mountain summit in Brig District, Switzerland

Staldhorn is a mountain in the Pennine Alps with an elevation of 2,463 meters. Well-marked trails ascend from several starting points, passing through alpine meadows and rocky terrain on the way to the summit.

Staldhorn is a northern spur of the Fletschhorn and Tochuhorn, forming the western flank of the Simplon Pass in Valais. The pass below it has carried travellers between the Rhone valley and Italy since the early 19th century, when the Simplon road was built under Napoleon; the mountain itself has no recorded historical events and is known as a hiking and snowshoe destination.

The Staldhorn is climbed from the Simplon Pass along its western ridge, a walk of about two hours that is rated easy in summer. In winter the mountain is a destination for snowshoe walkers; the route is graded WT3, "demanding snowshoe tour", on the SAC snowshoe scale.

The best time to hike is during summer months from June to September, when the trails are snow-free and conditions are safe. The route requires proper gear and good preparation, especially as weather can change quickly at this elevation.
