Central Breithorn

Central Breithorn, Mountain summit at Valais-Aosta Valley border, Switzerland and Italy

The Central Breithorn is a 4,160-metre summit of the Breithorn massif in the Pennine Alps, on the border between Valais, Switzerland, and the Aosta Valley, Italy. It lies between the Western Breithorn, separated by the 4,081-metre Sella, and the Eastern Breithorn, separated by the 4,014-metre Breithorn Window.

The Central Breithorn is the middle summit of the Breithorn range, which lies on the border between the Valais canton of Switzerland and the Aosta Valley region of Italy. The summit stands between the Western Breithorn, separated by the Sella at 4,081 m, and the eastern Breithorn Twin, separated by the Breithorn Window at 4,014 m. The first ascent followed the route from the Klein Matterhorn across part of the Grande Ghiacciaio di Verra, and the peak is also reached by the crest traverse from the Western Breithorn.

The name Breithorn, meaning "broad horn" in German, is shared by the whole massif, while the Italian form Breithorn Centrale and the German Mittelgipfel mark the summit's middle position between the Western Breithorn and the western Breithorn Twin. The border runs along the ridge, so climbers pass from the Valais side into the Aosta Valley.

The usual route starts from the Klein Matterhorn cable car station, crosses part of the Grande Ghiacciaio di Verra and continues past the track leading to the Western Breithorn before climbing the south face. The summit can also be reached by traversing the crest from the Western Breithorn, separated from it by the Sella at 4,081 m.

The Central Breithorn is separated from the Western Breithorn by the Sella at 4,081 m and from the eastern summit by the Breithorn Window at 4,014 m. Climbers can also traverse the connecting crest from the Western Breithorn instead of climbing the south face.
