Breithorn

The Breithorn is a 3,780-metre peak in the Bernese Alps, situated in the broader area around Visp in the canton of Valais. The summit is one of the notable three-thousanders of the region, offering wide views across the surrounding Valaisan Alpine chains on clear days. Standard routes to the top are suited to experienced hikers and mountaineers with appropriate high-alpine equipment and sure-footedness. For current route conditions and mountain hut information, the local alpine centre in Visp is the recommended first stop before setting out.
