Grosses Fiescherhorn is a mountain peak of the Bernese Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Bern and ValaisValais, halfway between the Mönch and the Finsteraarhorn. At 4,049 metres (13,284 ft) above sea level, its summit culminates over the whole Fiescherhorn massif (German: Fiescherhörner), which is also composed of the slightly lower Hinteres Fiescherhorn (4,025 m (13,205 ft)) to the south and Kleines Fiescherhorn (also called Ochs aka ox, 3,895 m (12,779 ft)) to the east. From the north both are well hidden behind other mountain peaks and can only been seen from Isch in Grindelwald (1,095 m). The mountain is shared between the municipalities of Grindelwald and Fieschertal.

Climbing history
The summit was first reached on 23 July 1862 by H. B. George and Adolphus Warburton Moore, with guides Christian Almer and Ulrich Kaufmann. They used what is now the normal route, the south-west ridge.[3]
The north side of the mountain was first climbed in 1926. On 13 August, W. Amstutz and P. von Schumacher reached the summit after a 15-hour ascent via the north ridge, which is the northern boundary of the Fiescherwand.[3]
The first direct ascent on the Fiescherwand was made by W. Welzenbach and H. Tillmann in 1930. Welzenbach was an expert climber, who disputed the common idea of his time that an ascent of the Fiescherwand was impossible. The previous year, in 1929, Welzenbach and Tillmann climbed the north ridge in only 8.5 hours.[3] The following year they started the ascent of the Fiescherwand on the morning of 5 September 1930, taking a line that ran directly to the summit. They reached the top that evening, after a 12-hour ascent.[3]

[de] Grosses Fiescherhorn
Das Grosse Fiescherhorn, in älterer Literatur auch Gross Fiescherhorn genannt, ist mit 4048,8 m ü. M. der höchste Gipfel der drei Fiescherhörner in den Berner Alpen. Der Berg sendet nach Nordwesten, Osten und Südosten ausgeprägte Grate aus; auf dem west-östlich verlaufenden Hauptkamm verläuft die Grenze zwischen den Schweizer Kantonen Bern im Norden und Wallis im Süden. Nach Norden fällt eine 1250 Meter hohe und etwa 4 Kilometer lange Wand, die Fiescherwand, in den zerklüfteten Gletscher Ischmeer hinab. Durch seine ausserordentliche Höhe und gute Erreichbarkeit inmitten der Berner Alpen ist das Horn ein bedeutender Aussichtsberg, der im Spätwinter auch im Rahmen von Skitouren oft begangen wird. Zuerst wurde das Grosse Fiescherhorn am 23. Juli 1862 durch H. B. George, Christian Almer, Ulrich Kaufmann und Adolphus Warburton Moore über den Südwestgrat bestiegen.[1]- [en] Grosses Fiescherhorn

El Fiescherhorn es el nombre dado a tres montañas en el macizo de los Alpes berneses en Suiza. Estas son el Gross Fiescherhorn (4049 m), el Hinter Fiescherhorn (4025 m) y el Ochs (3900 m). Las montañas están bien ocultas detrás de otras montañas de mayor altura y pueden ser vistas solamente desde la ciudad de Grindelwald (1034 m), aunque este no sea generalmente el punto de partida para una escalada de estas cimas.[fr] Gross Fiescherhorn
