+ About this map
The Matterhorn is a mountain that looks engineered. Four steep faces, four sharp ridges, and a pointed summit that sits at the exact intersection of all of them. At 14,692 feet, it straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy, rising above Zermatt in a pyramidal form so distinct it has become one of the most recognizable mountain silhouettes in the world.
This map reveals the geometry behind the icon. The contour lines tighten dramatically on all four faces; the north face in particular compresses to near-vertical bands of elevation. The ridgelines that define the pyramid, the Hörnli, Zmutt, Lion, and Furggen, stand out clearly as inflection points in the topography where the mountain changes direction.
