The Wildstrubel (3,243 m) is a mountain in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland on the border between the Canton of Berne and the Canton of Valais.
The mountain has three summits, all of similar height:
-
- The western summit (3,243.5 m, the Lenkerstrubel, named Wildstrubel on Swiss maps)
- The central summit (3,243.5 m)
- The eastern summit (the Adelbodnerstrubel or Grossstrubel (3,242.6 m)
These three summits, strung out along a 3.5-km ridge, make a convenient traverse.
