The Breithorn (from German: "large mountain"; 4,164 m) is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It lies on the main chain of the Alps, approximately halfway between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa and east of the Theodul Pass. Most of the massif is glaciated and includes several subsidiary peaks, all located east of the main summit: the Central Breithorn, the Eastern Breithorn, the Breithornzwillinge and the Roccia Nera. The main summit is sometimes distinguished by the name Western Breithorn. The nearest settlements are Zermatt (Valais) and St-Jacques (Aosta Valley).
View from the Klein Matterhorn (west side)
The Breithorn is considered the most easily climbed 4,000 m Alpine peak. This is due to the Klein Matterhorn cable car which takes climbers to over 3,820 m (12,700 ft) from Zermatt for a starting point. The standard route (SSW flank) is from the Italian side of the mountain (the south side) and continues over a glacial plateau before climbing to the summit on a 35 degree snow slope. However, inexperienced mountaineers may run into severe difficulty if caution is not taken near cornices or in bad weather. For experienced climbers wanting more of a challenge, the half traverse of the Breithorn crest is another option.
The Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by Henry Maynard (climber), Joseph-Marie Couttet, Jean Gras, Jean-Baptiste Erin and Jean-Jacques Erin.

Il rifugio Maria Luisa si trova in alta Val Formazza a 2157 metri, a pochi minuti di cammino dai laghi Toggia e Castel. E' raggiungibile in ogni periodo dell'anno in poco più d'un'ora da Riale 1728 m, ultima frazione della valle.
Il sentiero d'accesso è ampio e senza alcuna difficoltà, ma In inverno prima di partire è altamente consigliabile consultare il bollettino nivo-meteo circa le condizioni d'assestamento e stabilità del manto nevoso.

Mit drei Güterwagen war Ge 6/6 II 707 von Chur nach Samedan unterwegs. Eben hat sie Bergün verlassen.
Una piacevole sorpresa del mio recente tour retico è stata quella di imbattermi nella storica elettromotrice ABe 4/4 501, in servizio speciale Samedan-Pontresina-Samedan, qui in procinto di transitare dalla fermata di Punt Muragl (CH), il 27/12/2011. Quasi un ritorno al passato, quando queste elettromotrici percorrevano quotidianamente la tratta da Samedan a Pontresina e vv., prima dell'introduzione delle navette con Ge 4/4' e Ge 4/4''.
Warning: slippery plane runway !

@Firlie hatte gestern schon ein schönes Bild gepostet, indem er den vorläufigen Abschied des Winters "beweint". Heute möchte ich nun mit einem Bild gleiches nachholen, dass ich vor einem Jahr bei einem eisig-klaren Morgen auf dem Bärenstein machen konnte.
Ich hoffe natürlich, dass sich der Winter nochmal zeigt, doch allein heute kam in mir schon eine deprimierende Stimmung hoch. Viele Fotos hatte ich mir bei all dem Schnee erhofft. Zu wenig konnte ich davon umsetzen.

The train is leaving the snow-covered Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park behind on this extremely cold day. Leading the silvery Superliner is an all-GE consist, led by warbonnet-clad BNSF No. 761, with P40DCs (822, 808, 817) in three different paint schemes trailing.
