Switzerland - Zermatt
Zermatt is a small town in the Swiss Alps, which is closest to the triangularlly shapped mountain Matterhorn (4478m),
the 7th highest peak of the Alps.
This is my 4th times here, and I have the best viewing of Matterhorn as the previous times Matterhorn were covered by cloud.
The main attraction of Matterhorn is to travel by cable cars to the summit of the mountain Klein Matterhorn (3883m),
to watch Matterhorn; and to travel by mountain train to Gornergrat (3136m) to watch Matterhorn and Mont Rosa (4638m), the 2nd
highest peak of the Alps.
