Klein Matterhorn, Summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland
Klein Matterhorn summit rises to 3,883 meters above sea level, featuring steep faces and prominent glacial formations in the surrounding Alpine landscape.
The first recorded winter ascent of Klein Matterhorn occurred on January 2, 1889, when climbers H. Biehly, R. Helbling, and F. Wagner reached the peak.
The summit shares naming conventions with neighboring peaks, known as Klein Matterhorn in German-speaking Switzerland and Piccolo Cervino in Italian-speaking regions.
Visitors access the summit through a series of cable car connections from Zermatt, reaching an observation platform that functions year-round for mountain viewing.
The mountain contains a glacier research station at its peak, where scientists study climate patterns and ice formations in the high Alpine environment.
