This panorama from Schoenbiel is looking across towards the north face of the iconic Matterhorn mountain with to the left the Hoernli Ridge scene of the first ascent on 15 July 1865 an expedition led by Britisher Edward Whymper when a number of his group fell from near the summit the entire length of the north face [centre]. The Zmutt Grat ridge breaks the centre ground while the Italianergrat occupies the right profile. The mountain is the life and soul of the Swiss mountain holiday resort town of Zermatt in the Swiss Canton of Valais as it was in 2000.
