The
Allalinhorn (4,027 m (13,212 ft)) is a mountain in the
Pennine Alps 
in
Switzerland 
. It lies between
Zermatt 
and
Saas-Fee 
in the canton of
Valais 
, and is part of the Mischabel range, which culminates at the Dom (4,545 m).
It was first climbed by London barrister Edward Levi Ames, a member of the Imseng family and Franz-Josef Andenmatten on 28 August 1856.
The building of the Metro Alpin funicular to the
Mittelallalin 
(3456 m) just below the north-east face has turned the mountain into one of the easiest and popular 4000-metre peaks of the Alps, when climbed by the standard route (WNW Ridge, difficulty Grade F). On the normal route, climbers can ride up to the Mittelallalin; from there, there are only about 500 vertical metres to tackle. However, even the 'easiest' route still has objective dangers from crevasses and should not be attempted by inexperienced mountaineers without a mountain guide or adequate crevasse rescue training.
