Introduction

Matterhorn is the most important tourist attraction in the Zermatt region and a symbol of the Alps. Despite its relatively low altitude in the Alpine region, it is famous for its unique conical shape, steep cliffs, and towering presence reaching into the blue sky. The mountain is also one of the most difficult peaks to climb in the Alps. The image of Matterhorn often appears on packaging or logos, but some confuse it with the Artesonraju peak in Paramount Pictures' logo. In 2001, Matterhorn became twinned with the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan, China, showcasing the friendship between two magnificent mountains.
