| Climbed this to acclimatize ourselves and took the fastest way up. Nice views though and it didn't take many hours the round trip! | |

| This was the first day of my summer holidays in the mountains. This trip was just for acclimatisation and enjoying the panorama of the Walliser Mountains: the summits of Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Castor, Pollux, Lyskamm and others. | |

| 2nd time on Breithorn, I love this mountain like no other, it was my first 4000er, but taking care of and passing all those hundreds of sucking pilgrim fathers up there is really horrible, poore mountain. The summitview offered by this great mountain is one of the very best. | |

| Straightforward peak - good for acclimatisation - beware crevasses - still plenty of people unroped waiting to be an accident! Tremendous view of surrounding peaks. | ||

| Summited the Breithorn for the third time in my life. I was with my wife for her first 4000m. Wonderful weather, a bit windy on the top. For the first time I saw a few crevasses on the route, but they do not create any problem. A few people still with ski, including a friend of mine who fell to the hip in a crevasse during his descent. | ||

| Bad weather forced us to do a not very demanding tour. Nevertheless for a short period, exactly when we reached the summit, clouds disappeared and we had a nice view. | |

| The Breithorn is commonly regarded as the easiest 4000er in the Alps and probably also the most climbed one. Knowing this, it is not really a surprise to us, that standing outside the station on Kleine Matterhorn, we can see a multitude of cordees, marching in rows like disciplinary ants towards the summit of the Breithorn. The mountain looks almost as Zermatt's main shopping street with all those tourists... and today I will be one of them... hmmm...I never really thought of myself being a tourist... | |
