The Wetterhorn (3692 m) is a mountain mass with three rocky summits of similar height, all rising from snow and ice-covered slopes. The mountain poses magnificently for photographs, and is one of the most often photographed mountains from the town of Grindelwald. Located just east of town, it is also one of the most often climbed mountains in the Alps. It rises just north of the great trio of peaks, Eiger (3970 m), Mönch (4107 m), and Jungfrau (4158 m). The Wetterhorn summit was the intended terminal for the world's first passenger tramway, but only the first quarter was built. It was in operation from 1908 until the beginning of World. The farmers in this region makes cheese from the milk of there cows, a delicious mountain cheese.
