The
Mönch (German pronunciation: [ˈmœnç] , German: "monk") at 4,110 metres (13,480 ft) is a mountain in the
Bernese Alps 
, in
Switzerland 
. Together with the
Eiger 
and the
Jungfrau 
, it forms a highly recognisable group of mountains, visible from far away.
The Mönch lies on the border between the cantons of Valais and Bern, and forms part of a mountain ridge between the Jungfrau and
Jungfraujoch 
to the west, and the Eiger to the east. It is west of Mönchsjoch, a pass at 3,650 metres (11,980 ft),
Mönchsjoch Hut 
, and north of the Jungfraufirn and Ewigschneefäld, two affluents of the Great
Aletsch Glacier 
. The north side of the Mönch forms a step wall above the
Lauterbrunnen 
valley.
The Jungfrau railway tunnel runs right under the summit, at an elevation of approximately 3,300 metres (10,830 ft).
