Natural Wonder

The town of Zermatt, nestled beneath the mountain's north face, is a mountaineering Mecca. One of the most frequently climbed mountains in the world, the Matterhorn's every ridge and face have been scaled, and there are now fixed ropes, ladders, and huts along the normal routes to the summit.

The whole thing is finished off with crunchy baked croutons of crusty bread topped with melted, toasted Gruyere cheese.
