1 ~~~ Tonight, the American flag is being projected onto the Matterhorn in a display of solidarity ON THE BORDER between Switzerland and Italy, the 14,691-foot-tall Matterhorn mountain stands as a giant canvas for a message of support for the nations touched the most by the COVID-19 health crisis.
Since March 24, 2020, the iconic mountain peak has been illuminated daily with the work of light artist Gerry Hofstetter. From the projection of messages like “#stayhome” and “#hope” to a gigantic heart and national flags, the iconic Matterhorn stands as a beacon of solidarity during the pandemic. matadornetwork.com/read/messages-hope-solidarity-projected-onto-matterhorn/ ~ 16 April 2020 ~ |

2 ~~~ The 7 most epic Matterhorn experiences ~~~ THE MATTERHORN is the most recognizable peak in Switzerland, which in a country often defined by its mountain summits, is no mean feat. So iconic is the jagged pyramidical mountain that it has worked its way into Disneyland, and has been immortalized in the logo of one of the world’s biggest chocolate brands (yeah, the giant chocolate bar you buy at the airport).
The Matterhorn truly deserves its celebrity status. It’s incredibly tall (14,692 feet), ruggedly good looking, and stands as the ultimate challenge for even the most experienced rock climbers. There are several ways to appreciate the mountain, whether you’re looking to scale its slopes, view it from the air, or just gawk at it over a glass of fine Swiss wine — take your pick from the following epic ways to experience the Matterhorn. matadornetwork.com/read/best-ways-see-matterhorn-switzerland/ ~ 24 September 2018 ~ |

3 ~~~ 11 awesome itineraries for your trip through the Alps ~~~ Europe’s highest mountain range — spanning a whopping 750 miles — naturally holds every kind of adventure one could possibly think of. The Alpine valleys of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland still hide idyllic villages where cheesemaking and woodworking reign supreme. Bustling cities like Zurich, Salzburg, and Munich mean world-class experiences at the foot of Mother Nature’s best work of European art.
But keep in mind that a trip to the Alps is all about who you are. These mountains, villages, and cities can hold whatever you want them to hold — which itinerary will you choose? matadornetwork.com/read/11-itineraries-trip-alps/ |
