Zermatt, Switzerland

Europe

Zermatt is a car-free village in the upper Valais, one of the alpine cantons of Switzerland.

Zermatt is surrounded by a range of fabulous mountains, among which the highest of Switzerland: Monte Rosa, but it is famous for the Matterhorn. It was one of the last alpine mountains to be conquered (in 1865), and the first expedition that reached the top ended dramatically (only 3 of the 7 climbers survived).
