Description

The Grosser Diamantstock is located about 9 km northwest of Grimselpass near the eastern end of the Bernese Alps. It is a granite peak with three ridges that define basins containing three glaciers. The long East Ridge is included in "Berner Oberland Die 100 Schoensten Touren" (Berner Oberland the 100 Finest Routes) by Hans Grossen with Gaston Rebuffat.
