The
Nadelhorn (4,327 m) is a mountain in the
Pennine Alps 
in
Switzerland 
. It is the highest point on the Nadelgrat, a high-level ridge running roughly north–south above the resort of
Saas-Fee 
to the east, and the
Mattertal 
to the west. Its three ridges join to form a sharp-pointed summit, which looks like a needle (German:
Nadel) when seen from the north. The other summits on the Nadelgrat are the
Stecknadelhorn 
, the
Hohberghorn 
, the
Dürrenhorn 
and the
Lenzspitze 
.
It was first climbed by Franz Andenmatten, Baptiste Epiney, Aloys Supersaxo and J. Zimmermann on 16 September 1858.
