Eggishorn

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.
