The Matterhorn has a pretty distinctive triangular-pyramid shape. Such 'horns' are formed when the origins of three glaciers migrate uphill and meet at a point.

Toblerone no longer makes its candies in Switzerland, so Swiss law forbids them from using iconic symbols of Switzerland on their packaging. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/05/matterhorn-mountain-toblerone-packaging-design-switzerland
