Bishorn
Between the Val d’Anniviers and the Zermatt valley, the Bishorn stands like an icy jewel in the heart of the Valais Alps, the gateway to the Imperial Crown. Considered one of the most accessible alpine summits to climb, it is nonetheless a breathtaking sight: a glittering wall of ice that seems to embrace the sky, while on the Zermatt side, its steep slopes reveal a surprisingly steep and fascinating face.
Under the artist's eye, the Bishorn embodies pure Alpine elegance. Its immaculate snowy mantle captures the light and reflects it in a perpetual interplay of shadows and flashes. As the seasons go by, it reveals a thousand faces, always different, always dazzling. But the Bishorn isn't just beautiful; it's also the gateway to even more ambitious horizons. From its summit opens the Weisshorn north ridge, a mythical route which, clinging to the flanks of the Bishorn, extends this high-altitude adventure for experienced mountaineers.
For beginners, conquering the Bishorn is already a dream come true, a first milestone in learning about the mountains. For dreamers and contemplatives, it's an invitation to soar, to admire the ballet of clouds on its slopes, and to feel the raw power of the Valais landscape. The Bishorn is a living tribute to the majesty of the Alps, a summit where ice, rock and light never cease to interact in perfect harmony.
