      The Western Breithorn, m. 4,165 above sea level, it is the highest peak in the Breithorn group.
      One of the easiest and most evocative 4000m peaks in the Alps with an unparalleled view of the Matterhorn. A watershed mountain between Italy and Switzerland, between Cervinia and Zermatt, it has always been loved by mountaineers of all generations for the spectacular panorama it offers.

        The Breithorn near Zermatt is a multi-peaked, heavily glaciated mountain ridge. As the name suggests - the Breithorn is wide. The mountain ridge with several peaks extends for more than two kilometers. The west summit is the highest at 4164 m above sea level. To the east, the central and eastern peaks and the Breithorn twins line up in the chain. The border between the Valais and the autonomous region of Aosta and the main Alpine ridge, which represents the regional water and weather divide, runs over the Breithorn. (Source: zermatt.ch)
