The
Grünhorn (or
Gross Grünhorn) (4,043 m) is a mountain in the
Bernese Alps 
range of the
Swiss Alps 
. It is located on the ridge between the two largest glaciers of the Alps: the
Aletsch Glacier 
to the west and the
Fiescher Glacier 
to the east. To the south lies the Gross Wannenhorn and, to the north, the Gross Fiescherhorn.
The starting point for the normal route via the
Grünegghorn and the south-west ridge is the Konkordiahütte at 2,850 metres (9,350 ft), which can be reached from
Fiesch 
(1,049 m; 3,442 ft).
Climbing history
The first ascent was made on August 7, 1865 by the Bernese mineralogist Edmund von Fellenberg with guides Peter Michel, Peter Egger and Peter Inäbnit. They climbed the mountain from the west side, starting at the Ewigschneefeld, a tributary glacier of the Aletsch Glacier.
