This camera delivers a mesmerizing view of the Matterhorn from the car-free village of Zermatt in the Swiss Alps. The Matterhorn's unmistakable pyramidal peak, at 14,692 feet, rises in near-perfect triangular form above the village, its four steep faces catching light differently throughout the day.
Zermatt itself is visible in the foreground, a charming cluster of dark-wood chalets and church steeples nestled in the valley at 5,315 feet elevation. Electric taxis and horse-drawn carriages move quietly through the streets, as combustion vehicles have been banned since the 1930s. In winter, skiers and snowboarders dot the slopes of the expansive ski area that links to Cervinia in Italy.
The Matterhorn's summit often wears a banner cloud, a lens-shaped formation that streams from the peak like a flag, indicating high-altitude winds. Watching this cloud form and dissolve is one of the subtle pleasures of the camera.
The Matterhorn straddles the Swiss-Italian border and was first summited on July 14, 1865, in a climb that ended in tragedy when four of the seven climbers fell to their deaths during the descent. The Gornergrat railway, opened in 1898, climbs to 10,135 feet and was the first fully electric cog railway in Switzerland. Zermatt's ski area encompasses 360 kilometers of pistes, making it one of the largest in the Alps. The village receives over two million overnight stays per year.
Sunrise between 6 AM and 8 AM Central European Time illuminates the Matterhorn's east face in spectacular orange and pink alpenglow. Winter months from December through April provide the most consistent snow cover. Late September through October offers crystal-clear autumn skies and golden larch forests below the peaks.
