Zermatt, Klein Matterhorn - 3885m/12,780ft - 360
degree winter/spring panorama 
Our view begins looking north-west to the
Matterhorn. Scroll your screen to the right to see all of this
very wide image.
Having traveled throughout the Alps and
Himalayas I have no hesitation in stating that the view from Klein Matterhorn is
on the of the finest mountain panoramas in the World. On a clear day it is
possible to see forty peaks over 4000 meters (13,000ft) elevation and 200km (130
miles) distance to the Maritime Alps close to the Mediterranean sea. As a
comparison, to stand at the top you are higher than all the highest mountains in
Austria and New Zealand.
Klein Matterhorn is easily reached year-round by spectacular
cable cars from Zermatt. Super ski runs are open from Klein
Matterhorn summer
and winter. Don't forget your
sun cream, sunglasses and warm clothes!

Matterhorn 4478m/14,730ft, Dent Blanche 4357m, Ober Gabelhorn

turning right around over the summer snows to face west again -

4807m/15,815ft, Grand Combin 4314m, Dent d'Herens 4171m and the
Matterhorn again completes our 360!
