The accident happened near the resort of Zermatt on Sunday, police in Valais state said in a statement. Authorities were alerted Monday that the 26-year-old man, who lived in Germany, was missing, and rescuers in a helicopter found his body on a glacier.
The man had set out alone on Sunday morning to climb the Strahlhorn peak, police said in the statement.
The accident happened on the Adlerpass, a mountain pass below the peak at some 12,800 feet above sea level. For reasons that weren't immediately clear, the climber fell about 500 meters down a rock face on one side of the pass.
