The Matterhorn, that great,
beautiful mountain that towers over Zermatt is the big tourism draw.
And, as Zermatt is a truly year round resort, the
Matterhorn works its pulling power magic 365 days per year. That means
that travelers from all over the world visit Zermatt all across the
seasons. Zermatt, the car-free village is never closed. And dear viewer
there is accommodation in all categories that are open, like Zermatt, the
entire year.There are 30 or more mountains that also make an important
contribution to the beauty and the winter sports activities that Zermatt
offers.
Now many of you would be forgiven for thinking that
the Matterhorn is the talles mountain in Europe. Er, Switzerland? Nope,
the tallest mountain in Europe is Mont Blanc, and the tallest mountain in
Switzerland is, wait for it, The Dom. You see the Matterhorn is not
completely in Switzerland. Probable have of the free-standing Matterhorn
is in the Italian resort of Cervinia. There they call it Monte Cervino by
the way.
