A Photo Gallery of the Weisshorn ( 4504m )

in the

Zermatt region of the Swiss Alps


The Weisshorn is a 3-ridged pyramid

and is one of the most beautiful peaks of the European Alps.

The normal route ( PD+ ) is via the East Ridge

and is physically and technically demanding, with a tricky and exposed rock ridge.

The Weisshorn summit ridge is a snow / ice slope up to 45 degrees.

The vertical gain to the summit from the Weisshorn Hut is 1600 metres.

The ascent requires 2 or 3 days from Zermatt / Tasch

Because of the difficulties and the long distance to the summit

the Weisshorn is less frequently attempted than other 4000 metre peaks.
