Alpinism for starters: My first summit above 4000 m - Breithorn & visit of Zermatt

From the top-station at Klein Matterhorn with a height of 3882 m you'll hike within less than 2 hours to this Glacier Peak, close to Matterhorn. At 4165 m you enjoy a fantastic view over endless glaciers and dozends of peaks of more than 4000 m. You do not require alpinism skills. The lack of oxygene will require deep breathing and you need to be ambitious to reach the summit. The technical requirements are low and no climbing skills are needed. The guide takes you on the rope and you'll wear grampons to have good grip on the ice. Afterwards you will visit famous Zermatt where you can reward yourself with shopping and/or with delicious food in one of the endless restaurants. If you are interested there is of course the option to go before or afterwards on hikes or other summits, such as Allalinhorn. It would be better if you could stay before a couple of days in the mountains to get used to the altitude.
