The most popular approach from Testa Grigia ski station follows the pistes southeast and south until you can turn eastwards across the main ski area and through a tunnel onto a piste heading towards Klein Matterhorn. The Breithorn comes into view on your right as you follow this piste and you can head straight for it at the next piste junction on the right. You do not need to go to Gobba di Rollin or Klein Matterhorn.
Essential Gear
Basic glacier equipment (ice-axe, crampons, rope). yes, is an easy route, but you are on a glacier, remember it!
