The Breithorn (4165m) is a mountain with several peaks, lying on the Pennine Alps between Switzerland and Italy. Those who are up to the challenge can marvel at Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, and Dent Blanche as they take on this incredible ascent.
With a mix of snow arêtes, rock scrambling, and exposed but manageable ridges, this traverse provides a more exciting challenge than the standard Breithorn ascent. While technically more demanding, it remains accessible to climbers with solid crampon skills and experience on mixed terrain.
We will meet at the gondola station for the first lift up to Klein Matterhorn, where we will complete an equipment check. After roping up, we will traverse beneath the Breithorn to Roccia Nera, then follow the ridgeline across multiple summits to the main Breithorn peak. Finally, we will descend via the normal route back to the gondola.
For those looking to progress in alpine climbing, the Breithorn Traverse is a perfect next step—offering a rewarding blend of adventure, skill-building, and some of the most spectacular high-altitude views in the Alps.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
