Axalphorn (locally, Axalphoren) is a peak of the Bernese Oberland, at an altitude of 2321 m. The summit is on the municipal border between Brienz and Brienzwiler. The Axalp ski resort is on the northern slope of Axalphorn. On the Axalphorn ridge, west of the summit, is the Axalp-Ebenfluh installation of the Swiss Air Force.
