The Matterhorn Mountain in Switzerland

Matterhorn-MountainRecorded in history that nearly 500 mountaineers have died in order to conquer this mountain. The mountain is as high as 14.692 feet, blanketed by snow with extremely difficult terrain. If indeed you can’t climb to the top, because it is dangerous of course, you can see the mountain scenery through a place you can reach by walking along for 3 miles to the Riffelsee lake where if It’s sunny day the shadow of the mountain will look very beautiful on the lake surface. Best time to visit this place is between July to October, because at that time the lake Riffelsee train line is opened to the public.

Trift Suspension Bridge, Switzerland

Trift Suspension Bridge
One of the most beautiful places in the world is home to one of the most spectacular and intimidating bridges ever. The Trift Bridge sits directly above the Trift Glacier at 100 meters high, 170 meters long, and is considered to be one of the longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps. You can hike or take the cable car to get to this impressive bridge which often times looks out to raging frozen waters and spectacular views.
