Matterhorn ⍟ Eͤxͯрⷬloͦrͬeͤdͩ

The Matterhorn is the Mountain of Mountains. Shaped like a jagged tooth, it's a magnet for adventurers looking for a mythical climb in Switzerland.

The Matterhorn became world-famous in 1865 after the first ascent which cost the lives of four out of seven alpinists. Since then, ambitious mountaineers aspired to climb it.
Morning is the best chance to see the Matterhorn in full view as clouds tend to move in later in the day.

For one of the best views of Matterhorn, it’s hard to beat Gornergrat. Once at the top station, you can simply enjoy the sweeping views of the Matterhorn and the Swiss Alps from the restaurant and terraces.

The best way to get to Gornergrat is to ride the Gornergrat Bahn, the highest open air railway in Europe, to the top station.

This photo of the Matterhorn was taken from inside the train in the early morning hour. To avoid the window glare/reflection, I was almost sitting on the floor. 😁

Thank you for your visit, dear Flickr friends!
