Top 5 high-altitude tours in the Bernese Alps

Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Who doesn't know this world-famous trio? With an elevation difference of more than 3.500 meters, the northern Bernese Alps rise majestically from the Bernese Oberland. But it's not just the sheer north faces, such as the Eiger North Face, the second highest wall in the Alps at 1.800 meters, that are impressive. This part of the Western Alps is also dominated by the great Alpine glaciers. On the southern side, the Aletsch Glacier and the Fiescher Glacier, the two longest ice streams in the Alps, flow into the Valais, giving the region its rugged character. It goes without saying that the peaks of the Bernese Alps are among the most sought-after destinations for high-altitude tours. Where else can you climb such remote and incredibly rewarding 4000-meter peaks? But it's not just the very highest mountains like the Finsteraarhorn, Aletschhorn, and Jungfrau that should be on every mountaineer's list of summits. Even the lower peaks, such as the Studerhorn, have their own unique charm and offer unforgettable views of the high summits of the Bernese Alps.
