This Breithorn Half Traverse Route is the perfect preparation for the 2-day Matterhorn guided climb. Join me on this 1-day program, departing from Zermatt.
Given than this particular program is more technical than the Normal Route, it is ideal preparation for the ascent to the Matterhorn. The program covers the different technical skills necessary for the Matterhorn ascent:
Walking on a crevassed glacier
Walking on exposed rocky ridges (on mountaineering boots or in crampons, depending on the conditions)
Walking on snow ridges (sometimes 'knife ridges' depending on the conditions).
I will assess each guest's ability and skills. Then, we will summit three 4000ers! We will ascend the East Breithorn peak, the Central Breithorn peak, and the West Breithorn peak.
The itinerary lasts between 4 and 5 hours. To start the program, I will meet you at Matterhorn Express in Zermatt around 6.30 am. The goal is to be ready for the first lift.
Ready for this Matterhorn Preparation Climb on Breithorn? Then contact me and join me this season! And don't forget to book your place on the Matterhorn guided climb via the Hornli Ridge to go for the complete adventure.
6.30 am: meeting at Matterhorn Express in Zermatt (time to be confirmed according to the moment of the year)
7.30 am: Beginning of the program at Klein Matterhorn
12.30 pm: Klein Matterhorn
2 pm: Descend to the Matterhorn Express in Zermatt

Mountain Guide
I am a mountain guide and ski instructor based in Verbier, Switzerland.
During the summer, I enjoy very much bringing my friends and clients on the 4000 meters of the Alps and do some rock climbing in high altitude. During the winter and spring, I love going freeride skiing, ski touring and guide on the ice falls. I'll be happy to be your guide and share wonderful mountain experiences with you. Feel free to have a look at some of my programs and get in touch with me if you are interested by one of them.

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.
