Mountains

The Hobärghorn is part of the Nadelgrat (needle ridge), a popular crossing route and one of the most beautiful in the Alps. Mostly, mount climbers set off from the Dom Hut.

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.

太古の昔から住んでいたといわれる竜の話をはじめ数々の伝説をもつ山。スイスの中央部に位置しており、標高約2100mの山頂からは奥に連なるアルプスの山々と美しい湖、牧歌的な谷がひとつになった大パノラマが広がっています。

This physically challenging four-thousander lies in the Valais Alps and consists of two peaks. It was a woman who first climbed its eastern peak!

三つの湖に囲まれた中央スイス地方を代表するマウンテンリゾート。最も高い山はリギ・クルムで標高約1797m。ヨーロッパ初となる歴史ある登山鉄道やロープウェイで簡単にアクセスできます。牛たちがのどかに草を食む放牧地で、湯治場や巡礼地でもあり、山頂から奥に連なるアルプスのパノラマビュー、壮麗なご来光、多彩なハイキングコースなど、魅力あふれる人気の観光地です。

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 Grand Combin de Valsorey is part of the Grand Combin massif, which really lives up to its nickname: the “Himalaya of Switzerland”. That’s because the mountain massif is surrounded by thick glacial layers.

The Valais four-thousanders stand nicely to attention on the southern horizon - And visitors spending the night at the mountain guesthouse by the Torrenthorn Rinderhütte witness the summit world in a very special light.

中央スイス地方、ルツェルン湖を囲むシュヴィーツアルプスの高原にある山村。冬にはスキー場となる、ガソリン車乗り入れ禁止のカーフリーリゾートです。シュヴィーツ郊外のシュラットリからシュトースへ結ぶケーブルカーは2017年末に最新技術でリニューアル。回転ドラムのような形のキャビンをつなぎ、最高勾配110%（1100パーミル）で険しい斜面をのぼっていく、新しい世界一急勾配のケーブルカーとなりました。

Among the snow-capped twin peaks Pollux and Castor, Pollux is not as high, and also the less challenging of the two. But the summit route really packs a punch.

Scarcely more than 4,000 metres above sea level, the Lagginhorn overlooks the Valais Alps. Although the ascent also packs a punch, attention should be paid to the challenging descent in particular.

A mountain that looks like it could have been lifted straight out of a picture book: pyramid-shaped and almost completely set apart. The climb up the Weisshorn is one of the Alpine region’s most beautiful, and at the same time one of the most challenging.

This striking four-thousander with an easily recognisable peak is part of the Mischabel group. The Nadelhorn is a comparably simpler four-thousander summit.

The Signalkuppe lies on the Swiss–Italian border. This mountain giant is home to Europe’s highest building: the Margherita Hut.

A popular route up the Castor starts at the Klein Matterhorn. The climbs is not as challenging compared with other mountain giants, but is by no means any less beautiful.

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 Moléson is the iconic mountain of the Fribourg Alps. Its slopes are home to the Moléson-sur-Gruyères station, the starting point for the ascent to the 2,002m summit and the gateway to the largest ski area in the Pays de Fribourg.

When the weather forecast threatens with “gray down under and blue on top“ – this is the place to avoid the fog. 1000 meters above the Urnersee lake, with views as far as the Gotthard region.

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.

The second-highest peak in the Bernese Alps is also considered to be the coldest across the entire Alpine region. The highly glaciated Aletschhorn towers over the UNESCO-listed Jungfrau-Aletsch area.

The Liskamm traverse is particularly infamous. As is its western peak, also known as “the man-eater”.

The origin of its name is a mystery. But one thing is clear: the Dom is the highest Swiss mountain whose base is entirely in Swiss territory.

The cable car up to Klein Matterhorn will make the ascent to Roccia Nera significantly easier. This peak is seldom climbed for itself, but rather as a way of accessing other climbs.

A popular destination close to Zermatt, suitable for mountaineers and non-mountaineers alike. The cable car makes the way up easier, making the Breithorn one of the easiest four-thousanders to climb.

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.

One of the twin Breithorn peaks above Zermatt. A popular venture for less experienced climbers of four-thousanders, easily accessible via the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise upper station.

On the Swiss side, the renowned Monte Rosa Hut serves as a starting point for climbs up to the Parrotspitze. This peak can be found in the Monte Rosa massif.

Although it has strong competition in the form of the neighbouring Matterhorn, for many people the Obel Gabelhorn with its uniform shape is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Alps. But it’s not just its outward appearance that makes it one of a kind, but its climb too.

Zermatt’s Breithorn has the following peaks and points: the Western Breithorn (main summit, 4,164m), the Central Breithorn (4,156m), the Breithorn Saddle (the lowest point of the summit ridge: 4,020m), the Breithorn Twins: Eastern Breithorn (4,138m) and Gendarm (4,106m); Roccia Nera (4,073m).

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.

The uncrowned queen of the Mischabel group, that sits above the Valais village of Täsch. The climb up to the summit is an experience in itself!

The northernmost peak of the Monte Rosa massif is also the second-highest peak in Switzerland. And visitors often like to return and make the ascent multiple times!

ヴァレーアルプス（ヴァリスアルペン）に属する名峰マッターホルンは、アルプス山脈で最も有名な山で、スイスを象徴するシンボルでもあります。ピラミッドのように鋭角にそびえる均整のとれたフォルム、際立つ美しさは、登山家から観光客まで多くの人々を魅了し続けています。連山が続くアルプスの山々の中では珍しい独立峰で、世界で最も写真に撮影されている山ともいわれています。隣接するクライン・マッターホルンへは氷河の上を最新のロープウェイで結びます。

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 early days of Switzerland right at the heart of the country: The Grosse Mythen mountain with its breathtaking alpine panorama and a spectacular ride in the Rotenflue gondola above Schwyz.
