The Silberhorn is a 3689 m high pyramid-shaped summit in the Jungfrau massif ( Bernese Oberland ). The Silberhorn is one of the most popular photo motifs in the Bernese Oberland because of its distinctive, completely covered shape when viewed from the north. It is the northern end point of an approximately 200 m long ridge that slopes slightly from south to north from 3704 to 3689 m, which branches off to the north from the ridge between Goldenhorn and Wengen-Jungfrau. The Silberhorn stands northwest of the Jungfrau summit.
The first ascent of the Silberhorn was made on August 4, 1863 by Edmund von Fellenberg and Karl Baedeker , the son of the founder of the publishing house Karl Baedeker . They were accompanied by the Grindelwald guides Peter Michel, Hans Baumann and Peter Inäbnit. The first ascent over the north-west ridge ( Hornby ridge ) was made by the two Englishmen James John Hornby and Thomas Henry Philpot together with local mountain guides Christian Almer , Ulrich Almer , Johann Bischof and Christian Lauener .
The Silberhornhütte (2663 m) and the Rottalhütte (2755 m) are in the immediate vicinity of the Silberhorn .
The jump, which was newly built into the Lauberhorn run in 2003 , is called the Silberhorn jump because the camera view of the television broadcast shows the runners jumping in front of the Silberhorn.
