The Trugberg, pronounced Trubberg, is a 3932.9 -meter-high mountain in the Bernese Alps. It is located above the Konkordia place. West of the Trugberg is the Jungfraufirn and east of the Ewigschneefeld, both feed the Aletsch glacier with ice. North of the mirage mountain is the monk.

The name of the mountain to be from a 1841 conducted by Pierre Jean Édouard Desor and Louis Agassiz expedition. This Desor have confused the mountain with the Virgin, whereupon he named the mountain Trugberg after this deception.

The Trugberg was climbed on 13 July 1871 by the Basel climbers Emil Burckhardt and the two Grindelwald forests Peter Egger and Peter Schlegel for the first time. The three chose the route across the eastern flank of the mountain.
