Switzerland is the wonderful travel destination. We can see many glorious beauty of the nature over there. We can feel a fragile Eco-System across swizz. Valleys are separated by huge mountains. It has a stable and high tech economy. Matterhorn is the highest peak in Alps. It is an iconic emblem of Swizz alps. It is most difficult to climb and a challenging too. It is 14690 ft high. It is situated at the border of Italy and Switzerland.

Ariel View of Matterhorn:

It has its name from the German word "matte" and "horn". "Matte" means meadow and "Horn" means peak. It is an isolated mountain. Because of its position on the main alpine areas. We can see often the dense clouds touching the horn part of this mountains. It has 2 summits and they are situated 100 mts long rocky ridge. Its main feature is that it is pyramid like structure and each face faces the four main geographical compass (East, West, North, South).
There is a place called Zermatt, which is located near the mountain Matterhorn. The Zermatt museum contains the brief history of the Alps regions and Matterhorn. Railway Transportation is available to make the travelers fall in a real beauty. How this huge Matterhorn formed? Before 200 million years ago, there is a separation of Pangaea due to heavy melting. While the rocks constituting the nearby Monte Rosa remained in Laurasia, the rocks constituting the Matterhorn found themselves in Gondwana, separated by the newly formed Tethys Ocean.IT gets it pyramid shape in most recent days only. from 1865 – when it was first climbed – to 1995, 500 alpinists died on it.



Theories of Mr Horace-Bénédict de Saussure after getting inspired by this Matterhorn.

What power must have been required to shatter and to sweep away the missing parts of this pyramid; for we do not see it surrounded by heaps of fragments; one only sees other peaks - themselves rooted to the ground - whose sides, equally rent, indicate an immense mass of débris, of which we do not see any trace in the neighborhood. Doubtless this is that débris which, in the form of pebbles, boulders, and sand, fills our valleys and our plains

Visitors who are going to swizz, please visit Matterhorn. Thanks for reading
