[edit] General information

The Balmenhorn (4,167 m) is a Monte Rosa (Pennine Alps) summit between the Ludwigshöhe and Piramid Vincent. It is very closely located to the Swiss-Italian border but is completely located in Valle d'Aosta, Italy.

The UIAA classifies this summit as a less significant 4000m summit because it is not really an individual peak, in fact it is just a big rock sticking out a glacier. But because of the 4000m and the easy climb, the peak is frequently visited by parties doing tours in the Monte Rosa massif.

Andrea Pedretti, Giovanni Mariotti and their guides Welf, Zaccaria and Vicaire climbed the summit first on 6 August 1875.
