List of mountains of the canton of Bern

This is a list of mountains of the Swiss canton of Bern. Bern is one of the three cantons (with Valais and Graubünden) having summits above 4,000 metres. It is also one of the two cantons (with Vaud) extending over both the Alps and Jura. Topographically, the most important summit of the canton is that of the Finsteraarhorn (most elevated, most prominent and most isolated).

This list only includes significant summits with a topographic prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft). There are over 160 such summits in the canton of Bern and they are mostly found in the Bernese Oberland and the Bernese Jura, in its southernmost and northernmost districts.[1] All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-scale maps available.[2]

  2. All mountain heights and prominences are from the 1:25,000 Swisstopo topographic maps.
  3. The three main sources for first ascent data are:
    For the Western Alps; W.A.B. Coolidge, The Alps in nature and history, Methuen & Co, London, 1908.
    For the Central Alps; Gottlieb Studer, Über Eis und Schnee: Die höchsten Gipfel der Schweiz und die Geschichte ihrer Besteigung, Volumes 1-3, Schmid & Francke, Bern, 1896-1899.
    For the Eastern Alps: Die Erschließung der Ostalpen, Volumes 1-3, German and Austrian Alpine Club, Berlin, 1894.
    Given are the years for the first recorded ascents. In many cases local people or surveyors made earlier ascents. In particular, chamois and ibex hunters are expected to have reached many summits. Years in italics indicate that it is known that an earlier ascent was made, for example by the presence of artifacts on top or the summit's prior use as a triangulation point.
