Zermatt is surrounded by some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in Europe. Weisshorn, or White Peak, at 14,783 ft tall (4505 metres) is the ninth-tallest peak over 4000m in the Alps. It is slightly taller than the Matterhorn. It was first scaled in 1861. The photo, looking northwest. was taken from the cog-wheel train as it descended to Zermatt from Gornergrat.
