The
Eggishorn is a mountain in the southeastern part of the
Bernese Alps 
, located north of
Fiesch 
in the Swiss canton of
Valais 
. A cable car station is located on a secondary summit named
Fiescherhorli (2,893 m), 500 metres south of the main peak.
The Eggishorn lies within the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region, which in 2001 was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. On its northern flank is the
Aletsch Glacier 
. From the summit the view extends also to the Lepontine and
Pennine Alps 
(Dom,
Matterhorn 
,
Weisshorn 
).
Together with Fiescherhorli and
Bettmerhorn 
, Eggishorn forms a ridge, running in a direction from north-northeast to south-southwest, with steep slopes on both sides, facing Aletsch Glacier in the west and the mountain plateau of Fiescheralpe above the Rhone valley in the east.
