Breithorn Twin West (4,139m a.s.l.)
Intro
One of the twin Breithorn peaks above Zermatt. A popular venture for less experienced climbers of four-thousanders, easily accessible via the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise upper station.
Just 115 metres separate the Western Breithorn Twin from the Eastern Breithorn Twin. At 4,139 metres above sea level, the Western Breithorn Twin is the slightly taller of the two Breithorn Twins. As part of the Breithorn Plateau, the twin peaks are a popular destination for less experienced climbers of four-thousanders. The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise upper station makes the approximately two-hour ascent considerably easier. The Western Breithorn Twin towers high over Zermatt in the Valais Alps, yet is within easy reach for many.

Climbing four-thousander summits requires good physical health, meticulous preparation and technical skills in mountain sports. We recommend booking a mountain guide. Switzerland Tourism accepts no liability in this case.
