Description#
The central summit lies on the Breithorn’s high frontier ridge east of the western top. It is principally climbed as part of a snowy traverse rather than as an isolated destination.
Access normally begins at Klein Matterhorn and follows the Breithorn ridge from the west. Continuing to the eastern summits involves exposed snow and rock terrain.
