The Matterhorn, a mountain shaped like an Egyptian pyramid, is 4478 metres high (14692 ft) located at the border between Switserland and Italy nearby the Swiss town of Zermatt in the Mattertal valley in the canton of Valais. The Matterhorn has four faces nearly facing the four compass points. Three of them (north, east and west) are on the Swiss side of the border and one of them (south) is on the Italian side of the border in the Valtournenche valley. From the area of Zermatt the east and north faces are visible. The Matterhorn's faces are steep, and only small patches of snow and ice cling to them; regular avalanches send the snow down to accumulate on the glaciers at the base of each face. The mountain has two distinct summits, situated at either end of a 100-metre-long (330 ft) exposed rocky crest which forms the Italian/Swiss border. Millions of years ago, it was part of the African continent. Nowadays it is one of the most famous mountains in the world and is the best-known landmark in Switzerland.
