The Lauterbrunnen Wall is a term used in the English-speaking mountaineering world[1] to refer to a north-west-facing mountain wall in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. It runs for 8 kilometres from the Gletscherhorn (3,983 m) in the east, through the Ebnefluh, (3,962 m), the Mittaghorn (3,897m) and the Grosshorn (3,754 m), to the Breithorn (3,785 m) in the west, where the wall comes to an end at the col which separates it from the Tschingelhorn. The Wall is named after the village of Lauterbrunnen, which lies to the north.

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked country located at the confluence of Western, Central and Southern Europe.[e][13] It is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is geographically divided among the Swiss Plateau, the Alps and the Jura; the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, whereas most of the country's population of 9 million are concentrated on the plateau, which hosts the largest cities and economic centres, including Zürich, Geneva and Basel.[14]

Grindelwald is a village and municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Berne. In addition to the village of Grindelwald, the municipality also includes the settlements of Alpiglen, Burglauenen, Grund, Itramen, Mühlebach, Schwendi, Tschingelberg and Wargistal.

Grindelwald village is located at 1,034 m (3,392 ft) above sea level. Mentioned for the first time in 1146, it has become a major tourist destination of both Switzerland and the Alps since the golden age of alpinism in the 19th century. It is notably overlooked by the section of the Bernese Alps from the Wetterhorn to the Eiger, making up a huge natural barrier. Together with the adjacent valley of Lauterbrunnen, the valley of Grindelwald forms part of the Jungfrau Region of the Bernese Oberland, between Interlaken and the main crest of the Bernese Alps.

Similarly to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald is connected to Interlaken by the Bernese Oberland Railway and is the start of the Wengernalp Railway, leading to Kleine Scheidegg. The latter resort is the start of the Jungfrau Railway, the highest railway in Europe and a gateway to the Jungfrau-Aletsch protected area.

Malta's Blue Lagoon is a protected cove between the smallest of Malta's main islands, Comino, and the tiny island called Cominotto (essentially small Comino).

The Gornergrat lies at 3135 m above sea level in the Valais Alps. The Gornergrat cable car takes you there in 33 minutes from Zermatt. On the ridge, a viewing platform awaits you with a magnificent view of the Matterhorn and the Monte Rosa glaciers. The adventure world "Zooom the Matterhorn" lets you experience the Matterhorn through multimedia.

One of the best-known mountains in the Alps, the Matterhorn is located near the Swiss-Italian border, 6 miles (10 kilometers) southwest of Zermatt, Switzerland. The mountain, called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, is 14,691 feet (4,478 meters) high, and its peak dominates the town of Zermatt as well as the surrounding area. Zermatt has a population of 3,600 people, and its ban on automobiles keeps the air clean and quiet in sight of the majestic mountain. The Matterhorn is in the central range of the Alps known as the Pennine Alps.

From the Swiss side the Matterhorn appears to be an isolated peak, but it is actually the end of a ridge. The Swiss slope is more gradual and easier to climb than the terraced walls of the Italian slope. The Swiss side’s Hörnli Ridge was first conquered on July 14, 1865, by the British explorer Edward Whymper. Four of the members of his party died on their descent, and Whymper and his two guides survived only because the rope connecting them to their companions broke. Three days later an Italian group led by Giovanni Antonio Carrel reached the summit from the Italian side. Zmutt Ridge was first climbed in 1879, Furgg Ridge in 1911, and the west face in 1927.

The ice-covered north and south faces were first climbed in 1931, as was the east face in 1932. The first winter climb of the north face took place in 1962. Approximately 3,000 experienced climbers attempt the Matterhorn each summer, and skiing on the nearby mountains can continue through July if the winter snows are heavy.
