Everything about The Finsteraarhorn totally explained
The
Finsteraarhorn is the highest
mountain in the
Bernese Alps range of the
Swiss Alps and the highest mountain in the
Bernese Oberland. It is the
third most prominent peak in the
Alps.
The identity of the first ascentionists was long a controversial matter. Although Johann Rudolf Meyer claimed to have reached the summit on an attempt in 1812 with guides Arnold Abbühl, Joseph Bortes and Aloys Volker, it's now accepted – after the research of
John Percy Farrar in the
Alpine Journal – that Jakob Leuthold and Johann Währen (guides to Franz Joseph Hugi) were the first to reach the summit via the north-west ridge on 10 August 1829 (Hugi and others remained just below the top). Hugi and party had reached the saddle below the summit in 1828 but had to retreat because of bad weather.
