National Geographic didn’t lie to me: The Alps are seriously underestimated

In Switzerland, a fairyland, in the Alpine kingdom of Switzerland, the mountains are as dense as gold, and the mountains are crisscrossed. However, among these many high mountains, one peak stands out. In the eyes of the Swiss, no matter which mountain, it has its own unique charm and style, but only the Matterhorn is regarded as the representative of Swiss mountains and is an immortal legend in their minds. The Matterhorn adds a touch of peerless elegance to the entire Alps. This majestic mountain, known as the "King of Mountains", is located in the canton of Valais in southwestern Switzerland. The entire mountain is like a pearl that spans Switzerland and Italy, but its most beautiful and photogenic angle is dedicated to Zermatt, Switzerland. The beauty of the Matterhorn lies not only in its spectacular height (4,478 meters), but also in its unique triangular shape, like a tempting piece of chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, who can fail to mention Toblerone? The logo of this Swiss brand is inspired by the Matterhorn, as if the soul of the mountain is engraved on each piece of chocolate, making it unforgettable. The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range in Europe, covering the northern border of Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany and Slovenia. Many major rivers in Europe originate here. It is rich in hydropower resources and has beautiful scenery. It is a European tourist, vacation and health resort. There are 128 peaks in the Alps with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The highest peak, Mont Blanc, is 4,810.45 meters above sea level and is located at the border between France and Italy. The French Alps Snow Mountain Skiing Mecca, which brings together various ski resorts in the Alps, is an iconic ski resort with magnificent alpine natural scenery and a pollution-free pure ecological environment. It allows you to experience the new alpine natural charm in a way close to life, breathe in the fresh air on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and enjoy the leisurely and open space between heaven and earth.
