The Matterhorn in Switzerland is one of the world's most distinctive mountains. With its triangular shape, it looks almost like it was drawn by a child. It is not, however, the tallest mountain in the Alps, nor even in Switzerland. Nonetheless, it has always presented an irresistable pull to climbers and tourists. A Matterhorn climb is on the 'must-do' list of many keen climbers.
I was lucky enough to see the Matterhorn up close during a wonderful summer visit to Zermatt, a beautiful town high in the Swiss Alps. Here I share some of my photos as well as some interesting facts about the mountain.
