This really is Switzerland and you can see the Matterhorn in the middle of the photo. This is near the tops of the mountains at about 3089 meters or 10,134 feet. This fabulous viewpoint is accessible by walking up a trail or riding up the mountain in a cog railway. We kept expecting the clouds to cover the Matterhorn, but they just played peekaboo all the time we were visiting this lovely place. Here is a very short explanation of the view:
The panorama is among the finest in the world. The views take in the Monte Rosa massif with Switzerland’s highest peak (Dufourspitze, 4,634 m); the second-largest glacier in the Alps, the Gorner Glacier; and a total of 29 mountains above 4,000 m, including, of course, the Matterhorn in all its glory.This is the place to see the Alps.
