Take Gornergrat bahn (sit the right side up , left side down for Matterhorn view) experience zroom VR at the peak! and visit the riffelsee lake too! Just Beautiful."Valtournenche11.4km from downtownHighlights: The Matterhorn is 4478 meters above sea level. Its special triangular cone shape is very representative and is a symbol of the Alps. Especially at sunrise and sunset, the snow-covered mountains reflect a metallic light, which is breathtaking. . Difficult mountaineering challenges Matterhorn is the last major mountain in the Alps to be conquered, and many mountaineers regard it as a difficult challenge due to its extremely steep and precipitous terrain. Even now, it is only possible to reach the summit by a professional climber with complete equipment, accompanied by an experienced guide. From the foot of the mountain, the town of Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn is a good place to overlook the Matterhorn, and the MatterVispa River in the center of the town is the best choice for watching the morning view of the Matterhorn. . Standing by the river and looking along the empty river, the king of the mountains without the roof and branches to cover it looks even more majestic. A close-up view of the Matterhorn from the glacier paradise There is a small Matterhorn (KleinMatterhorn) near the Matterhorn. There is a viewing platform 3883 meters above sea level on its steep hill, known as the "Matterhorn" Glacier Paradise". Here, visitors can admire the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountains of the Alps up close, with magnificent glaciers and rolling snow.Show Less
