The
Matterhorn,
Monte Cervino or
Mont
Cervin, is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland
and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 metres
high, making it one of the highest peaks in
the Alps. The Matterhorn has become an iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps and the Alps
in general. Since the end of the 19th century, when railways were built, it
attracted more and more visitors and climbers. Each summer a large number of
mountaineers try to climb the Matterhorn via the northeast Hörnli ridge, the
most popular route to the summit.
