The Tschingelhorn is relatively unknown in relation to the triad of Eiger , Mönch and Jungfrau in its vicinity and at 3562 m above sea level. M. rather low summit in the Bernese Oberland (Switzerland). Nevertheless, due to its charming surroundings, it is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn UNESCO World Heritage Site .

On the first day it leads from Stechelberg in the Lauterbrunnen valley over the Obersteinberg and the Tschingelfirn (crevasses - high-altitude tour equipment required) to the Mutthornhütte . On the second day, the route continues from the hut over the glacier and after crossing the Petersgrates through a moderately steep firn couloir and over the west ridge to the summit.
To the west is the Chly Tschingelhorn ( 3495 m above sea level ), from which you can traverse to the Tschingelhorn (III).
