Description

There is something magical about speeding down the slopes as fast as you can and experiencing the exhilaration that you get - whilst in this case the fast skier thinks 'Catch Me If You Can'.
The very popular skiing resort of Zermatt in Switzerland. This area borders Italy. The famous Matterhorn takes a prominent position in this painting as rightly it should.
The name of Zermatt, as well as that of the Matterhorn itself, derives from the alpine meadows, or matten (in German), in the valley. The name appeared first as Zur Matte ("at the meadow") and became later Zermatt.
