The Matterhorn is one of the 10 most visited places in Switzerland

The Matterhorn, also known as the Matterhorn in German and Monte Cervino in Italian, is one of the most iconic mountains in the Alps. Located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it rises to 4,478 meters, making it one of the highest peaks in Europe. Its near-perfect pyramidal silhouette has made it a symbol of Switzerland and a legendary summit for mountaineers from around the world. Visible from Zermatt, it attracts thousands of tourists, hikers, and climbers every year. Climbing the Matterhorn remains a demanding challenge, marked by the first successful conquest in 1865 by Edward Whymper and his team, an expedition that remains famous for its tragic outcome.
