38 four thousand-metre peaks

38 mountains are gathered here all of which are over 4,000 m. This includes the Matterhorn. A true paradise for alpinists. The names are familiar: Monte Rosa, Weisshorn, Dom, Täschhorn, Liskamm. But why 38 four thousand-metre peaks? Very simply: Alpinists can reach 38 four thousand-metre peaks from Zermatt. The list includes the famous mountains. With tips for excursions, hikers and alpinists. The list has 34 rather than 38 entries because the eastern and western summits of Lyskamm count as two four-thousanders, so the mountain only appears once in the list. It's the same with the Breithorn; its three subsidiary peaks also count as four-thousanders.
