Description
If you’re searching for your first 4,000-meter climb, then this trip provides the perfect opportunity to conquer one of the greatest and scenic summits in the Alps.
Breithorn (meaning broad horn) is a peak in the Pennines that stands at the border between Switzerland and Italy. The summit offers incredible views and an exhilarating ascent. Stretching to 4,165 meters, the snow-capped and glacial route is one of the most climbed of the Alps. It is a popular mountain for climbers who wish to go on their first 4,000-meter climb.
Breithorn stands close to the famous mountaineering town of Zermatt. The climb is not too steep and doesn’t require any previous knowledge if you go with a certified guide. Despite the technical ease, this 4,000-meter peak should not be underestimated. The alpine climate, altitude, and crevasses all present challenges on the mountain. In addition, potential participants are required to have a good level of fitness and stamina in order to make the climb both fun and safe.
Get in touch now to reserve your place on this 1-day climbing adventure in the Swiss Alps and conquer your first 4,000-meter peak! I look forward to guiding you!

I started climbing at the age of 12 with the Club Andino in Argentina. From these first weekends in the mountains I felt the passion growing in me, and knew from this start what I would do later on. The dream came true, I became a Montain Guide. Ever since I have been traveling around the world, always searching for mountains to climb; continuously surprised by sunsets and unique sunrises… For many years I guided arrownd Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre range, south of my beloved Patagonia. Now a days my playgrownd is moslty in the heart of the Alps and Patagonia. I try to make each experience special for my clients, adapting to your level and sharing this unique feeling. Come, live big!

What people are saying about Top Mountain
Jeremias guided my wife and I to the top of the Matterhorn on the final day of our honeymoon. The experience was unforgettable and neither of us could have made it without Jere. He gave us a brilliant pre-climb briefing and helped us plan our gear. On the day there were tricky conditions but Jere made sure we felt safe, and supported whilst still pushing us to make sure we submitted. We enjoyed so much we have since climbed together in Argentina and Spain. Top human, top friend… Top Mountain Guide.
Best guide. Was patient and pushed me when needed in a pleasant way that helped achieve my goals
Absolutely fantastic guide! We climbed the Matterhorn with Jeremias on our honeymoon and he was brilliant. He is completely focused to support you reach your goal but keeps it fun and most importantly safe. Do not hesitate to book with him! 🫶🫶🫶
