Nothing like it in the world! A must to be seen from the village and in the mountains. Zermatt is worth a visit just to catch a view of this iconic mountain. More

Wow! A must see. Truly spectacular and an astonishing bit of nature. I never tired of looking at the Matterhorn from the ski lifts and every time I look back through my photos I think it is even more beautiful! Would have loved to have seen it from Switzerland too but weather did not permit. More

Great vistas - was pathway to ski in Italy (from Switzerland) - spring skiing, but snow still light & relatively fluffy, a pleasure! Fantastic Blue skies. In a week of skiing, only one day where winds prevented access to the top lifts. More

The view of the Matterhorn is breathtaking and beyond any words to describe without doing injustice to the her beauty. You have to visit the peak of the Matterhorn glacier station, which is at 3882m above sea level. It can be accessed via the cable car. At the top, you can have a 360 degrees view on the viewing deck.... More
