“The Majestic Matterhorn: Crown of Zermatt”

#mytraveldiary The true icon of Zermatt in the Swiss Alps is the mighty Matterhorn, one of the most recognized mountains in the world. Its sharp, pyramid-shaped peak rises to 4,478 meters, making it both majestic and unforgettable. The Matterhorn symbolizes the beauty and power of the Alps and has long attracted climbers, adventurers, and travelers from around the globe. In the 19th century, it became famous after daring mountaineers attempted to conquer its summit, and today it remains a dream for many alpinists. For those who don’t climb, Zermatt offers many ways to admire this legendary peak—from the Gornergrat railway, panoramic cable cars, or peaceful hiking trails where the mountain reflects in crystal-clear alpine lakes. Each season gives the Matterhorn a new charm, from snow-covered winter wonder to golden autumn glow. It is more than just a mountain—it is the proud symbol of Switzerland and the heart of Zermatt’s identity.
