This mountain probably hardly needs an introduction: the Matterhorn (or Cervino in Italian, as it lies in the Swiss/Italian border) seen from the ascent to the Allalinhorn. With a height of 4'478 m / 14'692 ft it is the 10th highest mountain of Switzerland and was first climbed in 1865.

On the 150th anniversary of the first ascent, the mountain was given a day of silence, in remembrance and honor of the over 500 climbers who lost their lives trying to climb the Matterhorn. Anyone who was climbing the Matterhorn that day anyway, would get a fine of 5'000 CHF (5'500 USD).
