The Wildhorn (3,248 m) is the highest peak of the Wildhorn group in the Bernese Alps. The first ascent was made by Gottlieb Samuel Studer in September 1843.The mountain forms the boundary between the Canton of Valais and the Canton of Berne. Two small glaciers lie on the east face of the Wildhorn: the "Glacier des Audannes" and the "Glacier de Ténéhet". The "Tungelgletscher", a glacier measured as 1.9 km in length in 1973,http://glaciology.ethz.ch/messnetz/glaciers/dungel.html Date accessed: 10 January 2008 has its source on the mountain's north-east face.

The Swiss Alpine Club maintains the "Wildhornhütte" shelter (2,303 m) in the Iffigtal, above the Iffigsee, on the northern slopes of the mountain. The easiest ascent (a glacier tour) starts from there. More challenging ascents commence from the "Geltenhütte" (2,759 m), above the "Col du Brochet".

Heliskiing is permitted on the Wildhorn, if a mountain guide is in the party; Air Glacier helicopters take off from Sion airport.
