The
Wasenhorn (German, Italian:
Punta Terrarossa; 3,246 metres (10,650 ft)) is a mountain of the
Lepontine Alps 
, located on the border between
Switzerland 
and Italy. It lies halfway between Brig (Swiss canton of
Valais 
) and
Varzo 
(Italian region of
Piedmont 
), just north of
Monte Leone 
, in the
Simplon Pass 
area. Politically the Wasenhorn is split between the municipalities of
Ried-Brig 
and Varzo.
The
Simplon Tunnel 
runs into the massif of the Wasenhorn, below the subsidiary summit named
Tunnelspitz (2,903 m (9,524 ft)).
Access road
Just follow to the road towards the Simplon pass, either from Brig on the Swiss side, or from Domodossola on the Italian side.
Climbing Route
The normal route to the summit of the Wasenhorn starts from the Monte Leone Hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (2,848 m (9,344 ft)), located on the south side of the mountain, above the Chaltwasser Pass, which connects the Simplon Pass with the Alpe Veglia.
