The triangle Horn ( 3'811 m above sea level. M. ) is a secondary summit of the Aletsch horn in Switzerland. The triangle Horn is located about 2.5 kilometers northeast of the Aletschhorn and about the same distance southwest of the Konkordia place.

The Aletschjoch ( 3614 m) separates the triangle Horn from the northeast ridge of the Aletsch horn. In addition to withdrawing this yoke Westgrat the triangle horn sends two more ridges, one to the northeast in the direction of Concordia square and a triangle to the southeast to the Little Horn ( 3639 m).

The triangular horn is usually climbed together with the Aletschhorn. Starting or ending point of the tour is usually the means Aletsch bivouac ( 3102 m), which is located about two kilometers south of the triangular horn.

On 13 December 2001 the Virgin was recorded with southern adjacent areas as the Jungfrau-Aletsch -Bietschhorn in the list as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
