Matterhorn 4,478 m, SWITZERLAND/ RIFFEL LAKE, ZERMATT, VALAIS. Mount Matterhorn, here mirrored in the Riffel Lake at Zermatt, is ”The Iconic Alp” and a true European symbol, one of the World’s most well known mountain silhouettes. It is a mountain of superlatives and among other things, inspired the shape of Toblerone chocolate. In French it is called Mont Cervin and in Italian Monte Cervino. Climate change is enabling lower-altitude species conquer higher and higher ground, out-competing the high altitude species, many of which have their last refuges high up in the mountains of Central and Eastern Europe, Matterhorn, Switzerland
