The United Bielenhorn is a 3210 m high mountain in the Urner Alps. It is located north of the Furka Pass road in the Swiss canton of Uri.

In the West, the United Bielenhorn is separated from Galenstock through the upper gap Biel ( 3248 m). Southeast is the chli Bielenhorn ( 2940 m), which is connected by the Lower Biel gap with the United Bielenhorn. To the north of the summit lies the deep glacier, southwest of Sidelengletscher.

Routes to the summit

An often popular tour is the southeast ridge. It offers granite climbing down to the lower V. difficulty and is equipped with bolts. Starting point for an ascent is the Sidelenhütte ( 2,708 m ), which can be reached from the Furka Pass road.

In the west wall there are other, sometimes more difficult, granite climbing routes.
