Description
I am happy to invite you to climb a really challenging peak of the Pennine Alps: the Breithorn**.**
The Breithorn is a mountain that lies near the Matterhorn. It is part of the Monte Rosa Massif, on the Italian-Swiss border. This peak actually divides the Mattertal Valley from the Aosta Valley.
This ascent is usually combined with other peaks in a multi-day program, like this 2-day climb to the Breithorn and Pollux mountains. However, this time we'll do a summit attack in just 5 or 6 hours. That's why it's mandatory to have previous mountaineering experience as well as a good physical condition.
The Breithorn is 4164-meter high and its ascent involves an intermediate difficulty. We must take the cable car that takes us up to 3800 meters of altitude. From there, we'll have to climb through a quite demanding slope until we're at the summit.
In order to enjoy a safe and personalized experience I will guide a group of no more than 2 participants. The best period to climb the Breithorn is from June till mid-September.
So if you're ready to live a different climbing trip in Zermatt, please fill out the form and get in touch with me. I can't wait to guide you up to the summit of such an amazing mountain!

Mountain Guide
Roberto “Rouge” Rossi, born on 24/02/1976 in Turin, forms the Mountain Passion guide team with Riccardo Olliveri.
I graduated in Biology, and I'm a Mountain Guide since 2003, and Guide Instructor since 2007.
I'm enthusiastic for all that is mountains and verticality, practice 360-degree mountaineering, with a large number of climbs along the entire Western Alpine arc where I've made all kinds of climbs and on all terrains, with a predilection for Mont Blanc. However, I did not neglect the extra-European mountains by making extra-European and European trips and expeditions including Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Japan, Canada, USA.
I now divide my days between Cervinia and Chamonix, and I'm a great lover of high mountain climbing and steep skiing, among which the descents of the North of Lyskamm, of the East and of the South of Monte Rosa, of the North of Aiguille du Midi along different itineraries and east of the Matterhorn. I'm also a trainer for work at height with access and positioning systems using ropes and for third category fall protection PPE.
I collaborate with specialized magazines in the sector (ALP, Planetmountain) and am a consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle, Edelweiss, ARVA, BLUE ICE.

What people are saying about Roberto
Akshaan
Roberto a été un excellent guide ! On a beaucoup rigolé tout au long de l’ascension et nous a en même temps très bien encadré et rassuré. Il a pris l’initiative d’aller plus tôt en haut pour qu’on évite la queue à la phase de rappel.

Great experience during 3 days of climbing adventures.

Changing dates on the website was a little bit difficult but Roberto and the route were fantastic! Was a stunning location to push myself, but still feel safe and supported to make the climb.

Roberto was an amazing guide. Not only did he select amazing routes but he was excellent about communicating different options for climbs and was incredibly safe and just generally fun to climb with !
