Description
At 14,692 feet in elevation, the Matterhorn is a nearly symmetrical peak of the Alps straddling the border between Italy and Switzerland. This steep mountain has attracted climbers from all over the world, and it is estimated that over 500 thrill seekers have died while attempting the climb. The four faces of the Matterhorn face north, south, east, and west. It overlooks the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia to the south and Zermatt, Switzerland to the northeast. The Matterhorn has been listed as an official natural monument of Switzerland since 1983.
