Review:
Towering in splendid isolation over the town of Zermatt and its surrounding countryside, The Matterhorn is the definitive iconic symbol of Switzerland. This unique triangular mountain is a year-round draw-card for alpine enthusiasts and nature lovers and the areas surrounding the peak offer an outstanding variety of outdoor recreational activities. The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, located at Klein Matterhorn, offers year-round skiing and other winter sports while in summer visitors come to enjoy scenic hiking on a variety of trails. Other activities include multi-day guided hikes. There are also scenic gondola rides which offer outstanding views - the Gornergrat viewing platform offers one of the region’s best views of the Matterhorn.
