Normal route |
We walk following the towers to the entry of plateau on left side. We follow initially the same route to the main summit of Breithorn (4165m) to reach a pointa called Breithorn pass (3824m) at west of the Breithron's col (the col between the two western peaks). We descend on right side (S.E.) following generally the footpath of the signs of skiers (in occassions with wood stakes with paint) in direction of Pollux. We cross under the spun south of Breithorn central descending to a small plateau under our summit. We leave the route of Pollux turning to left in the ramp S.W. of Roccia Nera. After a great bottom of soft snow we reach the central section of 45ยบ. The last meters has some ice generally before the west shoulder. We walk now near of rocky ridge to the summit.
