The Faulhorn is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located between Lake Brienz and Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. The summit is 2,681 metres (8,796 ft) high and can be reached by several trails.

The mountain is split between the municipalities of Iseltwald and Grindelwald, with the summit located on the boundary between the two.[2]

The hotel situated on the summit of Faulhorn was built in 1830. It has undergone very little change since then.[3]
