The Matterhorn. It is 4,478m high and counts as one of the Alps’ and therefore also Switzerland’s highest peaks. It is also the Swiss emblem and the world’s most-photographed mountain. The ‘mountain of mountains’ is the focal point in the Zermatt region and the Mattertal valley. Like a magnetic triangle, the ‘Horu’ (its local name) draws everyone’s eyes towards it. The impressive, sheer rock walls are unique, towering in isolation from the rest of the peaks.
