Light is hope! In this sense, the Matterhorn is illuminated daily during the Coronavirus pandemic. The next projections take place today from 21:30 to 23:00 hrs.

With this light projection, Zermatt wants to give people a sign of hope and solidarity in these difficult times. The village shows solidarity with all the people who are currently suffering and is grateful to all those who are helping to overcome the crisis.

Stay at home - you can follow the spectacle live via webcams.

1. That must have been quite the challenge.

I've been saying for decades that we Washingtonians should illuminate Mount Rainier with floodlights at night.

4. Don't understand your contempt for the Swiss showing unity and support for their European neighbors.

5. It's so obnoxious to turn that beautiful mountain into a billboard

they could have taken out an ad in the paper after all. But no, they have to be arrogant. Hubristic and disrespectful. I find it disgusting.

6. Well, OK then. Have a nice day.

8. It's not forever. nt

7. I skied there back in college after my semester in Austria. Zermatt was a charming little town and

you could ski right back into the village off the slopes. It was so cozy and delightful. It was like being in a picture postcard. I just loved every moment of it. I would love to go back someday.

9. I did too! You could ski and then

go back to the village and sunbathe. The skiing was a little scary!
