Windy day on the Strahlhorn 4190m

Strahlhorn, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland

The Strahlhorn is a 4,190-metre peak in the Pennine Alps on the Swiss-Italian border, located in the Monte Rosa massif east of Zermatt. It is one of the more accessible four-thousanders in the Alps, typically approached via the Britannia Hut, and offers sweeping views across the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, and the Allalin glacier.

This video captures the mountain in characteristically fierce high-alpine conditions, with strong winds battering the exposed summit ridge. Viewers can expect raw footage of what summit days genuinely look like at this altitude — gusting winds, dramatic cloud movement, and the stark, icy landscape that makes the Strahlhorn both a rewarding and demanding objective for ski mountaineers and alpinists.
