The Wiwannihorn is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located north of Ausserberg in the canton of Valais. It lies on the range between the Bietschtal and the Baltschiedertal, south of the Bietschhorn.{{Cite web|url=http://www.summitpost.org/wiwannihorn/435523|title=Wiwannihorn : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost|website=www.summitpost.org|access-date=2016-06-28}}

The Wiwannihorn can be climbed easily on its normal route with proper equipment. Several more technical, multi-pitch free climbing and alpine climbing routes lead to the top as well. The most famous is probably the Steinadlerroute. The basecamp for climbing the Wiwannihorn is the Wiwanni hut [http://www.wiwanni.ch Wiwanni hut] that is accessible from Ausserberg via a hiking trail or a via ferrata through the Baltschieder valley.
