Central Breithorn, Mountain summit at Valais-Aosta Valley border, Switzerland and Italy
The Central Breithorn rises to 4159 meters between the Western Breithorn and Western Breithorn Twin peaks in the Pennine Alps mountain range.
The Central Breithorn has been documented extensively in Swiss topographic maps, marking its position as a significant geographical reference point in the Alps.
The mountain name combines elements from Swiss German and Italian languages, reflecting the territorial intersection between these Alpine communities.
Mountaineers can reach the summit through the Klein Matterhorn lift system, which elevates climbers to 3900 meters before the final ascent.
The traverse of Central Breithorn presents different climbing conditions throughout the year, with exposed glacial ice appearing during late summer months.
