To see the summit reflected in a mountain lake, the Stellisee, at an altitude of 2, metres, is another classic: it's just 20 minutes' walk from the Blauherd mountain station. Less familiar and away from the main hiking trails, the Riffelsee also offers a majestic panoramic view of the mountain.
Visitors can reach various peaks such as the Klein Matterhorn, the Gornergrat or the Rothorn by cable car: up there, vast landscapes fill the horizon, with the iconic Matterhorn ever towering above them. Beyond its iconic status, the Matterhorn continues to fascinate mountaineers, 3, of whom attempt to climb it every summer. Conquering the summit is considered difficult and it's an undertaking that requires a high level of expertise and a competent guide.
Zermatt is a dream destination for experienced mountaineers, as the resort is surrounded by 38 peaks over 4, metres. The summit's special aura can also be explained by its history, as for a long time it resisted mountaineers' attempts to scale it.
It remained unconquered until — when it was climbed by the British expedition led by Edward Whymper — 79 years later than Mont Blanc. At that time it was the last remaining Swiss peak of 4, metres to be conquered by man. Before succeeding in his project, Whymper, a mountaineering fanatic, made numerous other attempts to scale the Matterhorn — both from the Italian side and the Swiss side — all of them doomed to failure.
The story of the Matterhorn ascent is told in the Zermatlantis Matterhorn Museum. The museum's novel design contains a reconstruction of the 19th century village of Zermatt with wooden chalets. The visitor can thus imagine the ambience of the place at the time the summit was conquered. Other sporting events take place in the Matterhorn region.
