Winkelmatten Furi road is the road that offers beautiful lush of green forest, blue sky and the most famous mountain pinnacle in the world, the Matterhorn. The view of the Matterhorn is unique here without great drama, it is simply a rocky peak rising in front of a blue sky. Here photographers can take a beautiful picture of the Matterhorn rising behind the hilltops with relaxing forest atmosphere. The unique rocky peaks of the Matterhorn is something a photographer doesn’t want to miss. And if lucky, you may be able to take a picture of roe deer passing through the beautiful green forests.
