Geography & climbing context
One of the great isolated 4000ers of the Valais — a steep pyramid above Randa.
The Weisshorn is a classic Valais 4000er: long approaches, mixed rock and snow ridges, and serious exposure on the standard East Ridge from the Weisshorn Hut. Most parties treat it as a guided or highly experienced alpine climb from Randa / Täsch.
