The Matterhorn and Switzerland are inseparably linked to each other. The pyramid shaped colossus of a mountain, which is very difficult to climb, is said to be the most-photographed mountain in the world. The Klein-Matterhorn ("Little Matterhorn"), which can be reached via a funicular, lies adjacent to the Matterhorn.

The first ascent of the Matterhorn in the year 1865, which cost the
lives of four out of seven alpinists, changed the region (which had been
isolated until then) forever. The Matterhorn became world-famous, and
ambitious mountaineers aspired to climb it.

Even today the ascent
of the Matterhorn is very challenging and can only be achieved by
expert mountaineers with excellent equipment and a competent guide. One
has a fantastic view of the world's most photographed mountain from the
Klein-Matterhorn (Matterhorn Paradise), which is only separated from the
Matterhorn by the Theodul Pass and Glacier. Visitors can board the
aerial cable car in Zermatt. The mountain station at 3820 meters above
sea level is the highest cable car station of the Alps.
