What can you see from Matterhorn?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Matterhorn — observation point at 4,340 m, coordinates 45.9767, 7.6567.
From Matterhorn, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 313 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 313 km to the southeast (bearing 129°), at 1,942 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 2,483,693 terrain samples.

Frequently asked questions
How far can you see from Matterhorn?
On a clear day the terrain allows a line of sight of up to 313 km from Matterhorn. The average visible distance across all 360 directions is 117 km. Atmospheric conditions (haze, humidity) usually reduce practical visibility below the terrain-limited maximum.
What is the farthest point visible from Matterhorn?
The farthest terrain visible from Matterhorn lies 313 km to the southeast, at an elevation of 1,942 m. Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction are accounted for in this calculation.
How high is Matterhorn?
The observation point at Matterhorn sits at 4,340 m above sea level (Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model).
How is this visibility map calculated?
UpToWhere traces lines of sight in 360 directions from the observer using 30 m-resolution Copernicus terrain data, correcting for Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction. You can run the same analysis for any point on Earth with the free calculator.
