Hello,
I’m not sure if anyone could help or advise me with information about this hike. I wish to add the Breithorn summit hike to my itinerary during my June visit to Zermatt. I am looking for a guided summit since I am a solo hiker, my problem is this: The only guided summit tour that I have found is Zermatters.ch & while the price for 3 persons or more is a reasonable price of CHF 205.00 for a single person it jumps to CHF 610.00, I’ve tried to talk with Zermatters to see if it was possible to join other groups but it seems unless I bring my own group this is not possible. Does anyone know of a Breithorn guided summit tour where I might be able to join others and save some money or is this my only option? also, I am waiting to book anything until it’s closer to my summit date so I may check the weather since a refund is not possible do to bad weather.
Thank you
Kind regards

Hi Kimber,
Here’s a link to a list of private guides in Zermatt: http://www.zermatt.ch/en/Hiking-Guides. Perhaps you can ask these guides directly about solo hikes to Breithorn. Maybe you can also enquire at the local tourist office in Zermatt for more information. Hiking in numbers is always safer and cheaper than doing it alone.
Hope your plan works out.

If Breithorn doesn’t work out have you considered Mt Rosa ? There may be more options, though I doubt you can go to the top but it would be a spectacular hike. You can see it from the trail around the backside of the Gornergrat. I would think it would be of similar difficulty

Thank you for your kind info & I look forward to my journey as my plain leaves is less then 6 hours.
