Located just north of the Weisshorn, in the Swiss canton of Valais, Bishorn 4,153 m (13,625 ft) has two summits separated by a 600-meter ridge. Its western summit is the highest and its eastern summit (known as Pointe Burnaby) is the lowest. It’s a relatively easy 4-thousand meter peak to climb and it’s also a great mountain for spring skiing. From the top, you’ll enjoy some of the most amazing views in the Pennine Alps. Hire a certified guide and let them show you to the top of the Bishorn summit!
