Sackhorn

The Sackhorn lies on the cantonal border of Bern-Valais between the Gasterental valley in the north and the Lötschental valley in the south. The summit is on a long ridge which separates the two valleys. In the southwest, the Hockenhorn joins after the Märbiglücke, in the northeast the Sackhorn is separated from the Elwertätsch by the Tennbach gap. Towards the Gasterental, the mountain falls off in rugged rock walls pierced by small hanging glaciers.
