From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unteraar Glacier basin where eight mountains were named from an expedition led byLouis Agassiz in 1840 (click image to see annotations)

This is a list ofmountains andsummits ofSwitzerland named after people. Only a few mountains were named after people, as it is not a common practice in Switzerland.^[1] These mountains were often named after those who were the first to climb them, but also after distinguishedSwiss personalities, such asGuillaume-Henri Dufour,Henry Dunant andLouis Agassiz.

Most of the listed mountains are located in theUnteraar Glacier basin (8), onMonte Rosa (6), in theMont Blanc massif (4) and in theEngelhörner massif (3).
