Photos of Switzerland, in the heart of the mountains

France has the Eiffel Tower, Italy has the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Switzerland? The Matterhorn. Mountaineers from around the world flock to climb its 4,478 meters. At its foot lies the village of Zermatt, in Valais, a legendary summer and winter resort with universal appeal. At an altitude of 1,620 meters, the air has always been pure and dry.
