Rothorn | Switzerland Photo Spot
Share this Page
Standing at an impressive altitude, Rothorn serves as an idyllic perch to capture the magnificence of the Matterhorn and surrounding Swiss Alps. Accessible by cable car, the summit presents photographers with a 360-degree panorama that includes some of Switzerland’s most stunning peaks. The crisp alpine air, sprawling glaciers, and the play of light on the snowy landscapes make for enchanting compositions. Sunrise and sunset are magical moments here, as the colors dance on the icy terrain, providing a remarkable contrast to the dark, jagged outlines of the Alps. Do note, the altitude can affect both you and your gear, so be prepared with appropriate clothing and perhaps even an extra battery. The thin air can also make for clearer, sharper images, so don’t forget to take advantage of this natural filter. All in all, Rothorn is a mountain-top experience that’s not to be missed for any avid landscape photographer.
