Matterhorn

The very idea of climbing the Matterhorn draws a majestic peak in our imagination. The Matterhorn is considered one of the most popular mountains in the world. And, above all, because of its special shape.

Mattehorn is located on the border of countries such as Italy and Switzerland. To be more precise, it is in the heart of the majestic Alps. On the Swiss side, at the very foot of the Mattehorn, there is one of the most popular nearby resorts – the village of Zermatt. From this place there is a truly impressive view of the majestic mountain. The ascent of the Matterhorn from Switzerland also begins from here.
