The Matterhorn, Dom, and Dufourspitze are just a few of the high-carat peaks that awaken longings in every alpinist. Rivers froze to eternal ice push towards the valley in the form of mighty glaciers. The Aletsch Glacier is certainly the most famous glacier in the Alps, with a length of 22.75km. UNESCO honored the grandiose landscape around the mighty ice stream with the award of the World Heritage title. The Glacier Express winds its way through the upper Rhone valley like a toy iron. The route ends directly in Zermatt at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn.
