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!
If you would like to join this mountain climbing tour, then all you need to do is send your request and I will happily help you plan this unique ascent.
The meeting point is at the cable car station. From there, we will head up to the Klein Matterhorn where we will put on crampons and a rope and then, we will climb to the Breithorn summit! We will return via the same route and down to the valley in the early afternoon.

Mountain Guide
Since I was a boy I always had a desire to climb, following paved and unpaved roads to reach a peak. My bike took me around the world, exploring remote corners of the Earth. There is a special combination of solitude and beauty that lies in a desert road laid out under two wheels. I started my career as a cyclist, but also in my heart were the mountains and a good dose of self-challenge, with activities like triathlons and ultra distance mountain running.
After a Masters degree in Forestry Science and few assignements around Europe as Lab Manager, I realised that my love for the mountains, outdoors, and the desire to share this world with other people was too strong to be restricted only to the weekends.
Becoming a Mountain Guide was my answer! Living by the outdoors and sharing my passion for adventure. In life we are all faced with tough choices. The decision to train as a guide, to share my knowledge about mountains and help people safely achieve their dreams is reinforced each day with the experience I share with my clients.
We are each unique, in our dreams, experience and ambitions. Every season brings a new opportunity for adventure! Ski touring, freeride skiing or iceclimbing in winter; then, as the snow melts we go to the mountains for mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking and trail running.
Tell me about your ambitions,whether it is a one day, one peak, one face or couloir to a multi-day expedition. I offer customized programs tailored for each of my clients.
Let’s go for an 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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
