Switzerland View to Matterhorn from Stelli Lake
This is the most iconic and famous spot to photograph the famous Matterhorn Mountain (I call it Toblerone Mountain).
Every Landscape Photographer in Switzerland has one of these iconic shots (I think). The Nature in location is just glory and you can see the potential of Switzerland's beauty…

Photography Tips
Stellisee is the best one for getting a nice picture of the Matterhorn.
Sleep in a nearby alpine hut to be at the lake in time for sunset/sunrise. Or you go there during sunset to have the best light of the Matterhorn... It is better to go from Monday-Friday because Saturdays and Sundays are very packet.
It is often windy so not always will get the peak reflection on the lake (as it happened to me that day of this picture:D)
