Imposing and solitary, with the perfect shape of a pyramid, at 4,478 metres, the Matterhorn towers over the Pennine Alps at the bottom of the Valtournenche.

For 160 years it has attracted climbers and mountaineers from near and far with an undeniable magnetism, arousing a mixture of respect, awe and fascination that make it a unique and coveted destination for tourists and mountaineers. But not only.
