Little Matterhorn - Theodulgletscher
The 'Little' Matterhorn is directly opposite the Matterhon (4478m), or "Horu" as the locals call it, the most impressive and famous peak of Switzerland and the Alps. Many mountaineers tried to climb the legendary mountain; the first to succeed was the English Edward Whymper, together with a team of six people in 1865, four of them lost their life during this undertaking. The climbing of the Matterhorn is considered extremely difficult and dangerous and is only recommended for skilled mountaineers accompanied by a local guide.
