Matterhorn, Pennine Alps,
Switzerland and Italy (14,692ft/4,478m)
Switzerland has some pretty magical mountains, but the
jagged peak of the Matterhorn surely wins hands down. The mountain, straddling
the border between Switzerland and Italy, overlooks the Swiss town of Zermatt
to the northeast and the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia to the south. The town
also gives the mountain its Italian name Cervino. Sometimes even called the
Mountain of Mountains, Matterhorn is symbolic of all of the European Alps.
