Description
The Matterhorn (in German: Matterhorn, in Italian: Monte Cervino, in French: Mont Cervin) is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world and a mountain of the Alps, located between Switzerland and Italy. It is an almost perfect pyramidal peak in the Monte Rosa area, 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high, so it is one of the highest summits in Europe and in the Alps. This mountain stands so to say as a symbol for the Alps or the Swiss Alps in general. To me it is even THE mountain of all peaks.
The Matterhorn overlooks the Swiss town of Zermatt in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
Every year thousands of trekkers and millions of tourists come to this beautiful town (where only electrical cars are allowed) just because of this mountain and the glaciers in the surrounding.
With the Gornergrat railway,you reach a record altitude of 3,100 metres atnd from there you have a wonderful view to the Matterhorn as well as from the Unterrothorn and the Klein Matterhorn (Little Matterhorn) (where you get to with a cable car).
While climbing the Matterhorn around 500 alpinists have died since the first climb in 1865, so it is one of the deadliest peaks in the Alps
