The Matterhorn
I never imagined I would get to see the Matterhorn so there are many photos. I got up pretty early to catch the first rays of sunlight peeking over the horizon when this iconic Swiss peak comes alive with a warm and golden hue. The jagged edges and sheer rock faces of the mountain are bathed in a soft, ethereal light, creating a breathtaking spectacle that is truly unforgettable.

The Gornergrat (3,089 m) is one of those places that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime. The mountain panorama and the glorious view of the Matterhorn are unforgettable.
