List of mountains of Switzerland named after people


This is a list of mountains and summits of Switzerland named after people. Only a few mountains were named after people, as it is not a common practice in Switzerland. These mountains were often named after those who were the first to climb them, but also after distinguished Swiss personalities, such as Guillaume-Henri Dufour, Henry Dunant and Louis Agassiz.
Most of the listed mountains are located in the Unteraar Glacier basin, on Monte Rosa, in the Mont Blanc massif and in the Engelhörner massif.
