The Matterhorn, the Pyramid-shaped Mountain
The Matterhorn is not the highest mountain in the Alps, but it is the most recognizable because of it's shape. It has four very marked ridges and faces that makes it look like a pyramid. The four faces are steep, and only small patches of snow and ice cling to them as regular avalanche clears it and deposits the snow on it's foot.
