Its Italian side is rocky and bare, whereas the Swiss side is party covered by the Gries glacier. The Siedel Rothorn lies to the north, linked to the Bättelmatthorn by a ridge; the Blinnenhorn is farther north.[6][7][8][9][10]
The peak can be reached from Rifugio 3A or Rifugio Città di Busto in Italy, and from Nufenen Pass in Switzerland.[11] [12][13][14][15]
