The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.
3. Breithorn
Overall Ratings

The Breithorn (4,164 m), with its many summits, is a strong, glaciered mountain crest. The normal climb is considered as one of the easiest routes for climbing a four-thousand metre mountain. This tour is a perfect way to get a sense of high Alpine air for the first time but only for surefooted and experienced mountain hikers accompanied by a mountain guide. The tour includes climbing a glaciated four thousand-metre peak, and this is not to be underestimated. In the early morning, one takes the aerial tramway to Matterhorn glacier paradise at 3,883 m. The climb to the top and the descent afterwards lasts about three hours depending on the conditions. Even though the climb is not dizzying, the tour does offer a high Alpine mountain experience where one can live out the feeling of having one’s head already in outer space. •Snow tour on the glacier •The overall difficulty of the tour is given as “L” (easy) •A mountain guide is recommended •Warning: glacier crevasses

Easiest doesn't mean easy. But you can climb a mountain at more than 4000m from sea level. Good shoes, ice crampons, a guide and a rope for the ice field. Take your time (oxygen is limited at this altitude) and you can go climb the last 400m of altitude in 90mn-2h if you are in good physical shape from the cable car station. If I did it, you can. But don't forget getting an experienced person to lead the rope (Local guides are easily available; They are not cheap, but going without experience would be a good way to test the emergency services in Zermatt). In the end, you'll feel at the top of the world!

Was able to park and walk onto the bobsled run area while the Swiss championships were underway. Very cool to see this sport up close and personal. Was able to go to the start line as well a bit later. Didn't splurge for the ride down with two professionals however as that was quite pricy.

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Great season on the Altitude Futures work and train ISIA course. Brilliant coaches with Sammy and Alex leading the training program catering for all and they really developed my skiing well beyond what I originally expected for taking the BASI level 3 exams at the end of the season. Awesome group of people around and plenty of support throughout with COVID and Brexit happening too. Can’t wait to be back in Verbier next season to hopefully carry on with the Altitude team.
