Mountaineering Routes · Rinderhorn

A classic alpine ridge route on Rinderhorn, generally climbed from the Gemmi area. It is a mixed rock-and-snow ascent with sustained scrambling and exposed sections. The route is typically done in stable conditions, as the ridge can become serious when snow or ice is present. Route-finding is important on the upper mountain, where the ridge narrows and the terrain becomes more exposed. It is a well-known mountaineering line rather than a hiking route.
