The Gumihorn (also spelled Gummihorn) is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located at the western end of the Schwarzhorn group. It forms a limestone tower, overlooking the valley of the Lütschine and the area of Schynige Platte. At 2,100 metres, it is the highest summit lying west of the Loucherhorn.
The Gumihorn lies between the municipalities of Gsteigwiler and Gündlischwand, in the canton of Bern. Although its summit cannot be easily climbed, two other slightly lower summits on both sides of the peak can be easily reached from the Schynige Platte railway station, hence allowing a 360-degree view of the region. The highest is named Daube or Tuba (2,076 m; to the north) and the other, directly above the railway station, is named Geiss (2,067 m; to the south).
