A few more words about the highest mountain, the Finsteraarhorn. This mountain plays a rather minor role in tourism. It cannot be seen from anywhere in the valley and there is no cable car or other railway up to this mountain. However, it is well-known and popular among mountaineers. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are much more well-known. The Finsteraarhorn lies east of these three well-known mountains in the Bernese Oberland.
