Known internationally by its German name the Matterhorn, it owes its fame to its almost perfect pyramid shape. Its four-sided, ridged rocky peak towers 4,478 metres above sea level, in perfect isolation in the midst of a quite singular alpine panorama.  It straddles the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy.  About 3000 climbers summit the Matterhorn per year.  In the summer up to 150 climbers can attempt an ascent each eay.  Over 500 people have died climbing on the Matterhorn - both on the way  up and down from the summit.
