The Matterhorn is a large, jagged mountain standing 4,478 meters (14,692
ft) tall on the border of Switzerland and Italy. One of the highest
peaks in the Pennine Alps, the Matterhorn is also known as Monte Cervino
in Italian, or Mont Cervin in French. The mountain is famous for being
one of the most deadly to summit, with over 500 climbers dying on it
since it was first climbed in 1865. Today, many climbers summit the
Matterhorn each year, and all the faces of the mountain have been
ascended in all seasons, though even the easiest route to the top is
considered a fairly difficult climb.
