You're standing on the Gornergrat, a rocky ridge high above Zermatt. The summit sits at 3,135 metres. Take your time here, because this view is the whole reason people come up. All around you are more than twenty peaks above four thousand metres. You'll spot the Matterhorn straight away, with its sharp pyramid shape. Then look for the huge Monte Rosa massif, crowned by the Dufourspitze, the highest point in sight. The Liskamm, the Dom and the Weisshorn are part of the line-up too.
