The "Symbol of the Alps" often refers to the majestic Matterhorn, a mountain located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Standing at 4,478 meters (14,692 feet), it is one of the most recognizable peaks in the world, known for its distinctive pyramid shape. The Matterhorn attracts climbers and tourists alike, symbolizing the beauty and challenge of the Alpine region. Another important symbol is the Edelweiss, a small white flower that grows in the high-altitude areas of the Alps. This flower represents the rugged beauty and resilience of the Alpine environment. The Edelweiss is often associated with Swiss culture and is a popular emblem of the region's natural heritage.
