Fletschhorn 4,001/3,993<br />
Fun Fact: On old maps Fletschhorn had always been listed as 4,001 metres high. However, in the<br />
early 1990’s surveyors determined that Fletschbhorn was only 3,993 metres high. The Saas Valley<br />
was devastated. The municipal administration tried everything to keep all of its 4,000er peaks <strong>and</strong><br />
planned to build a restaurant on the peak to artificially elevate it. The project never went through<br />
but it made the Saas Valley famous. To this day, we hang on to Fletschhorn as one of our 4,000er<br />
peak family members.<br />
