ヴァレーの天然記念物・トップ20

A beautiful panoramic summit with views in all directions, including Jungfrau, Breithorn, Matterhorn, Grand Combin, and Mont Blanc.

The Weissmies is the highest peak of the Weissmies/Lagginhorn/Fletschhorn trio. It is listed on the new maps at only 4017 m; previously, the elevation was given as 4023 m. The six meters of elevation loss is due to the melting of the summit cap, which is made entirely of ice. In return, the secondary peak to the southeast of the highest point (formerly P. 3965) has been upgraded by seven meters to 3972 m.

When visibility is good, the summit of the Weissmies at 4,013 meters offers a magnificent view of the two other peaks of the Weissmies Group (Fletschhorn and Lagginhorn), as well as the Mischabel Group (with the Dom as its highest point) on the other side of the valley. However, during our ascent, we could see... nothing (fog).

And then you're there, a fantastic view of the glacier, the surrounding mountains and peaks, the snow chickens, etc.

A mountain guide is highly recommended, especially if you're doing this for the first time. You can also book one a few days in advance on site.

The Allalinhorn is a four-thousand-meter peak, perhaps the easiest in the Alps from a technical perspective. Since 1984, an underground funicular has operated along its northern flank, taking it up to 570 meters above sea level, significantly shortening the climb.

Very beautiful peak. One of my favorite mountains.

The circular trail is almost 500 metres long and always offers you the perfect view of the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. Information boards along the route provide interesting facts about the largest ice stream in the Alps and the surrounding mountains. The circular trail starts directly at the Eggishorn mountain station.
