Breithorn (4 164 m / 13 661 ft)

Thanks to a cable car from Zermatt that takes you to just 300 metres below the summit, the Breithorn (4164m) offers an opportunity to ski above 4000 metres with minimal effort. The ski down is almost as cruisey as the trip up — but as with all glacier skiing at any time of year (and especially in autumn), skiers are highly recommended to hire a local guide and have solid glacier travel and crevasse rescue skills before attempting this route.
