Description#
This eastern Breithorn summit stands on the long Swiss–Italian ridge above the Val d’Ayas. It is one of the points that gives the complete Breithorn traverse its alpine character.
It is normally reached from Klein Matterhorn on a west-to-east ridge traverse. The more direct Italian approaches use the Ayas hut system but remain glacier and ridge climbs.
