Description
... the Matterhorn !
The Matterhorn (in german) or Monte Cervino (in italian) or Mont Cervin (in french) is a peak located in Switzerland in a canton named Valais on the borderline between Switzerland and Italy.
This 4478m high peak has a very distinctive shape famous all around the world. If you are found of swiss chocolates, you have certainly seen its shape drawn on the package of the famous Toblerone chocolates.
The Matterhorn was climbed for the firs time in 1865 by a british expedition led by Edward Whymper but it was a deadly adventure : four out of the seven men died during this journey.
Picture taken during my last vacation, from Sunnega.
I've noticed that the Matterhorn was very shy : it was hiding behind the clouds :-)
I hope you enjoy the view as much as I did
Thanks for all your comments on my last image !
Have a great week-end !

A wonderful and very impressive view, looks fantastic with the flowers in the foreground. Excellent photo!!
What a marvelous shot ! I had the opportunity to skiing at the feet of the Cervino mountain, from the Italian side and I remember it as if it were yesterday :)
Une photo très réussie, parfaite composition
Impressive mountain and wonderful capture
Did you take this photographie? It seems like a postcard. (I am from switzerland)
WOW...La prise de vue/cadrage est absolument génial avec ce premier plan fleuri et le paysage est somptueux... Quelle merveilleuse photo Virginie !!!
Une superbe photo qui fait rêver le randonneur que je suis, et le Cervin est bien sûr une montagne mythique pour ceux qui s'y attaquent de front, mais je me contenterais déjà bien volontiers de l'admirer depuis sa base et non son sommet !
Que ceux qui n'aiment pas la montagne se dénoncent ! Ils seront condamnés à monter là-haut en courant ! Cela dit, y a-t-il encore des gens qui n'aiment pas ça après avoir vu ta belle photo ? J'en doute !
Very beautiful capture!!!
Magnificent photo and a very impressive mountain! I remember visiting Zermatt and seeing the Matterhorn way back in 1976 - unforgettable scenery!
wonderful
I should like to be here now !!!!!!!
incredible beauty and equally your capture. I think it is the very best picture I have seen of Switzerland
Toute la splendeur de la montagne réunie dans ta superbe photo... Magnifique!
VERY BEAUTIFUL
Fantastic capture of this beautiful mountain Virginie. One of our neighbors in Berlin died on that mountain while climbing it. What makes this picture really nice is the flowers in the foreground.
breathtaking capture of a dream landscape! A top photo of pure beauty 🤗
