| JanG | Route Climbed: Ski tour from Theodulpass Date Climbed: March 25, 1966  | |
| This "easy" 4000er was my first experience of ski-touring on a high mountain (details provided in Trip Report). Subsequently I came back many more times to the summit while on ski tours. Finally in Aug 02 I did the Breithorn traverse (west ridge only) with my sons. All the climbs were make with local guides because Breithorn might have become a serious endeavor if there had been a sudden weather change. In every instance, the views that we had from the top were breathtaking. | |

| We reached the summit in good weather and enjoyed the views for a few minutes before the wind picked up and it quickly got cold. Very busy day on the Breithorn also. | |

| On a beautifull sunny day, was my first 4000er and for sure not my last. This is an easy mountain to climb and fun to try. The only pitty is that there were so much people having the same idea that day ;-).... Take a good coat with you cause it can be windy and cold on the top!! cheers Milan | |

| Reached the summit from Plateau Rosa in 2h20min. The weather was not perfect. Very cold, windy and cloudy. The traverse across the Breithorn plateau was done in clouds and very low visibillity (15 m). Lots of people on the track to the summit, which caused some trafficjams, but we managed to overtake them. Another summit for the Danish MountainGoat Team: Mikkel, Kenneth and Mads. | |

| we started a one-week-trip through the Monte Rosa Group with the Breithorn standard route (after we had slept at Gandegg hut for acclimatization). Very busy on the track... We followed the exposed ridge to Breithorn middle and descended to the track to go on to Guide Ayas hut. | |

| flearreta | Route Climbed: Normal Route via Klein Mattehorn Date Climbed: August 12, 2003 | |
| If you are after an easy 4000m, this is for you. Not much of an adventure, but just good to get the feeling of how your body and mind work above 4000m (not much different than at 3000m, by the way). It tooks us about 2 hours round trip from the Klein Matterhorn cable car exit w/ photo stops included. Better to enchain it with Castor and Pollux if you are up to it. | |
