Zermatt: ‘Matterhorn at Dusk’

Come ski with me: Zermatt is very properly given its due for stunning scenery and rich and varied flora, but the unique Matterhorn, a natural obelisk rising in singular and solitary magnificence, dominates all in this enticing and expressive rendering. ‘The Matterhorn’, the saying has it, ‘stands for Switzerland as the Eiffel Tower stands for France.’ The success of the glamorous destination of Zermatt, taking its just place as a mountaineering centre of the first class, is forever associated with the enterprise of pioneer hotelier Alexandre Seiler.
