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.

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.

Great pics.
I can't wait for my Euro trip in late Feb. Sure hope it snows a lot this winter."In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, — no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair." -Emerson

Cool! What were the conditions like? Did you manage to drag up any teenage girls with you?

Yeah, I remember seeing that thread in August when I was packing and it got me really stoked to be moving here. I'm here until Dec.16th. A good dumping would go a long way towards filling things in - where'd you get your weather intel?

as soon as televerbier opens, I'll be there every weekend with the family. I can find a place to sleep for you if you like to spend some time in verb. Stay tuned!Last edited by verbier61; 11-13-2005 at 05:00 AM.

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.
