Comments
The Matterhorn (German: Matterhorn, French-Provençal: Grand'Bèca, Italian: Cervino) is, at 4,478 meters, the 12th highest peak in the Alps. It lies on the Swiss-Italian border between the Valais canton and the Aosta Valley.
The Matterhorn is Switzerland's best-known mountain, particularly for the pyramid-shaped view it offers from the town of Zermatt, in the German-speaking part of the canton of Valais; its image is regularly used for the logos of brands such as Toblerone and Ricola. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
