Probably the most famous mountain in the world. This 4478 meters high pyramid overhanging the small village of Zermatt in Switzerland has been admired for centuries by men and dreamed of by all mountaineers. The legend tells that its perfect geometry was carved by giants a long time ago. Imagine the feeling of satisfaction that the two first English alpinists to have climbed it in 1865 must have felt. That morning, after a long night's walk, when the sun began to fire up the sky and illuminate the tip of the pyramid, time froze to leave only the admiration of the spectacle offered by the queen mountain in perfect silence. A breathtaking moment.
