1. Finsteraarhorn
The Finsteraarhorn is a mountain lying on the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais. It is the highest mountain of the Bernese Alps and the most prominent peak of Switzerland. The Finsteraarhorn is the ninth-highest mountain and third-most prominent peak in the Alps. In 2001 the whole massif and surrounding glaciers were designated as part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site.
2. Moench
The Mönch at 4,110 metres (13,480 ft) is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, in Switzerland. Together with the Eiger and the Jungfrau, it forms a highly recognisable group of mountains, visible from far away.
3. Trugberg
The Trugberg is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, located south of the Mönch in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located above the Konkordiaplatz where the névé of the Jungfraufirn on the west side and the Ewigschneefeld on the east side converge to form the Aletsch Glacier. Debris accumulating on both sides of the mountain form one of the two important supraglacial moraines of the Aletsch Glacier.
4. Hinter Fiescherhorn
The Hinterer Fiescherhorn is a four-thousand-metre peak with an altitude of 4025 m above sea level in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. It lies in the group of Fiescherhörner, which also includes the Great and Small Fiescherhorns. In contrast to these two peaks, the Hinterer Fiescherhorn is located off the main ridge of the Bernese Alps entirely in the canton of Valais in the territory of the municipality of Fieschertal. The name of the mountain is explained by the fact that the mountain lies behind the Großer Fiescherhorn when viewed from the north and is hidden by it.
5. Grosses Fiescherhorn
The Grosse Fiescherhorn, also called Gross Fiescherhorn in older literature, is the highest peak of the Fiescherhörner in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland at 4049 m above sea level. The mountain sends out three distinct ridges; the border between the Swiss cantons of Bern in the north and Valais in the south runs along the two northwest-east runs. The north side consists of an imposing, about 1250 meter and about four kilometer wide wall, the Fiescherwand. Due to its extraordinary altitude, relatively good accessibility and the comprehensive summit panorama resulting from its central location in the middle of the Bernese Alps, the Horn is a popular touring destination in summer and winter. The first ascent was made on 23 July 1862 by H. B. George, Christian Almer, Ulrich Kaufmann and Adolphus Warburton Moore via the southwest ridge.
6. Wannenzwillinge
The Wannenzwillinge are two rock towers very close to the Bernese Alps, in Switzerland, located in the canton of Valais. The north summit rises to 3,480 m above sea level and the south summit to 3,430 m. Together with the Kleines Wannenhorn, the Grosses Wannenhorn, the Schönbühlhorn and the Fiescher Gabelhorn to the northwest, they are part of the Walliser Fiescherhörner that separates the Aletsch Glacier to the west from the Fiesch Glacier to the east
