Mountains : ベルン地方

As the name of this four-thousander suggests, the Schreckhorn is the Bernese Alps’ most challenging four-thousander (“Schrecken” is the German word for “terror”). Not many are actually scared off by it though – the mountain is climbed pretty regularly.

The Gross Grünhorn sits in the Bernese Alps – but belongs to the canton of Valais. This is a multifaceted four-thousander peak with several appealing routes.

680 meters above the Adelboden village street is where you find the Schwandfeldspitz – with top views over the Engstligen Valley, Lohner, Wildstrubel as far as the Wildhorn.

A very striking and popular four-thousander on the Bern–Valais cantonal border. It can be easily recognised by its peak, which looks a little like a shark’s fin.

A mountain in the Bernese Alps that is relatively rarely climbed, with the Schreckhorn often being favoured instead. The Lauteraargrat is a more popular destination than the Lauteraarhorn.

The Napf peak at an altitude of 1406m is the highest peak between Emmental and Entlebuch. There is no road or railway access to the summit. The cosy summit inn can be reached on foot or by mountain bike.

The Hinter Fiescherhorn only rises slightly above the firn line between the three peaks of the Fiescherhorn massif. It has nevertheless earned the right to be recognised as a separate four-thousand-metre peak, and a popular one at that.

The pass region between Adelboden and Lenk has long been used as a passageway for horses and horse-drawn carriages, a first hotel was constructed in 1905, and starting in winter 1936 a so-called Funi-sled made its way through the pass.

As part of the three famous peaks, the Mönch is extremely popular, and not just with mountaineers. But the mountain is very challenging and should not be underestimated, no matter how many visitors it has.

トゥーン湖地方にある標高約2000mの山。湖畔のベアテンベルクのハウスマウンテンで、ロープウェイで山上に結んでいます。アイガー、メンヒ、ユングフラウ三名山を含むベルナーアルプスの壮大な眺望が広がる人気の展望スポット。四季折々に美しく、とくに秋は周囲の山々が色づき、奥に広がる新雪を冠したアルプスの名峰群とあわせて絶景が楽しめます。

標高3466m。名峰ユングフラウとメンヒを結ぶ稜線の鞍部にあたる山で、アルプス最大最長のアレッチ氷河とともに「スイスアルプス ユングフラウ - アレッチ」として世界自然遺産に認定されています。ヨーロッパ最高地点の鉄道駅（3454m）に直結して、展望台やショップ、アトラクションなどの複合施設「トップ・オブ・ヨーロッパ」があります。

The Grosses Fiescherhorn is entirely surrounded by glaciers and is a real eye-catcher, in particular because of its impressive steep north face. It lies on the Bern–Valais cantonal border.

カンダー谷とジンメ谷の間にあるピラミッドのような三角形をした印象的な山。フェルディナンド・ホドラー、パウル・クレー、クーノ・アミエなど多くの有名スイス人画家がこの山をモチーフに名画を描いています。標高2362mの山頂へは麓のミューレネンから伝統のケーブルカーが約30分で結んでいます。その横には、その路線沿いには階段があり、世界一長い階段（11674段）としてギネス認定されています。

Next to the Eiger and the Mönch, in the Bernese Alps, the Jungfrau towers up into the sky. As imposing as the mountain itself is, the view while climbing it is just as impressive.
