I don't think I have to ask anybody where THIS one is, but you might ask "why today"? Answer: the winner/owner of the America's Cup (via ship Alinghi) said one thing he wants to do is have someone take it to the top of the Matterhorn. Alinghi was the Swiss boat.
There are some great panoramic views in the Zermatt Photos section under the "Thumbnails".
