At 4,164 m (13,661 ft), the beautiful Breithorn is a stunning peak in the Alps, located between glaciers and boasting stunning views of the famous Matterhorn. This is an ideal mountain for those looking for a first-time altitude climb or anyone training for some of the more difficult mountains in the area.
On this tour, we will be able to approach Breithorn either from Zermatt on the Swiss side or from Cervinia on the Italian side. Whichever the case, we will take the cable car to Klein Matterhorn and from there set up our crampons and ropes to begin the climb. After the thrilling experience of reaching the summit, we will return in the afternoon.
In order to join this tour, you will need to have an excellent fitness level and some prior mountaineering experience, however, this mountain is suitable for beginner climbers. It is an ideal 4000-meter peak for those looking to take their skills a bit higher up!

Mountain Guide
I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of climbing and the freedom of the outdoors. My journey began on a bike, exploring remote corners of the world, and evolved into a passion for endurance sports like triathlons and ultra-distance mountain running.
With a Master’s degree in Forestry Science and professional experience as a Lab Manager across Europe, I eventually decided to turn my lifelong passion into a career. Becoming a Mountain Guide was the answer and allowed me to live by the rhythm of the mountains and share my love for adventure with others.
I now guide year round — ski touring, freeride, and ice climbing in winter; mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking, and trail running through the warmer months.
Each person’s ambitions are unique, and I design custom programs to match every client’s goals, experience, and dreams.
Whether it’s a one-day climb, a technical face, or a multi-day expedition, I’m here to help you reach it — Let’s go find your next adventure!

Federico è una bravissima persona, molto disponibile e super allenata. Nonostante avessi un pò di mal di montagna e un fastidio a una caviglia a regolato comunque bene i tempi consentendoci di svolgere salita e discesa in piena sicurezza. Consigliato per questo tipo di escursioni o altre avventure.
