Description
Of all of the 4000 metre peaks in the Pennine Alps, Breithorn (4,164m) is the easiest to climb. That is why on this trip, you will be able to reach the summit and descent back down in a single day!
Climbing Breithorn is one of those rare instances where you actually get more than you give. The views you will receive from the summit are remarkable. There is so much to see, including, the Matterhorn (4,478m), Monte Rosa (4,634m), the Gendarm (4,106m), the Roccia Nera (4,075m), among several more peaks and glaciers. You will also be able to see Zermatt in Valais, Swizerland and St-Jacques in the Aosta Valley of Italy.
We will meet in Cervinia to start the trip. From there we will take the lift to the Plateau Rosa (3,480m). After that, we will climb Breithorn to its summit, where you will get to enjoy the breathtaking views, before we descend along the same route we ascended.
While the climb is easy, that does not mean caution should not still be taken, as there can be some difficult spots near cornices, or as a result of possible bad weather. And because of that, I will see to it that you are properly guided so you can reach the magnificent summit safely.
Breithorn is the kind of peak that makes you want to climb other, larger, more difficult peaks. Thus making it the kind of peak that can start a climbing journey that could last a lifetime. And it would be my pleasure to help you start that journey. Send me a message if you are interested.
I also offer additional single day climbs in the Alps. You can join me on this climb of Le Petit Mont Blanc, or this climb of the Aiguille de Toula.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
