Breithorn is a 4,000m peak that rises up above the Klein Matterhorn lift station - about 75 min. skin from the top of the tram. Snow was variable, including suncrust, windslab, and creamy pow. All the shots are scenics as I did not have a partner.

Is it hikeable or would that be too much like hard work?

Roo - Hikeable for sure (did so earlier in the year), but it would be kinda sloggy, as there is a flat plateau that separates Breithorn from Klein Matterhorn.
Sweet pics.
Hugging those Bro's like their your girly.;)
nice one! we saw a bunch of peep heading up last sunday. seems like a must-do at zermatt. nice view of the matterhorn from there. :cool:
Looks nice Colin. More pics please.
Beautiful pics, I love the Trokensteg. Has anyone ever skied that east face of the matterhorn?
Great pics.
I can't wait for my Euro trip in late Feb. Sure hope it snows a lot this winter.
Cool! What were the conditions like? Did you manage to drag up any teenage girls with you?
Awesome photos!Quote:

Cool stuff, Colin.
I did the Breithorn about 12 years ago. It was my first 4,000m peak and it was then that I got hooked.
I'll be in Switzerland in early January, it's a shame I'll miss you.
I am obsessed with Zermatt - going early Feb. Up till now I haven't been feeling the ski love this year....but after those sweeeeet Breithorn scenics I'm busting. Great pics.
