5 most beautiful mountains in the world

1. The Matterhorn, Switzerland

This mountain peak is going to be high on a lot of lists. While the beauty of
any given mountain may be subjective, there is no denying that the Matterhorn
is striking enough to stand out. It is immediately recognizable, even if you have
 only seen it in photographs a handful of times. This mountain is iconic of the
Swiss Alps, and also serves as a very exciting and dangerous climb for those who
 wish to ascend. The Matterhorn is subject to very unpredictable weather. This
can make it difficult for climbers. The dramatic weather can certainly accent the
beauty of the mountain though, adding to its allure.

2. Denali, Alasa

If you want to see a truly tremendous mountain which dominates a skyline like no other, you will want to journey to Denali, Alaska. Many tours go to Denali every year, featuring amazing views of the mountain which towers 20,320 feet above the landscape. While this is not the highest mountain peak, the dramatic difference in elevation from base to summit and the relatively un-occluded view make it quite majestic to behold. Just looking at photographs of Denali, you may feel dwarfed and humbled. Just imagine how you would feel in its presence, standing near the base and looking up toward the sky.

3. Kirkjufell, Iceland

This mountain is not particularly huge or tall, and it actually has more of a horizontal than vertical profile. The lines of its sediment are very pronounced though, and have an orderly, sculptured look. The slope of the base is very smooth and even, creating a symmetrical appearance. So despite the fact that it is not particularly vast, it has its own unique, almost architectural beauty. It is one of the most recognizable sights in all of Iceland, and attracts numerous tourists every year.

4. Table Mountain, South Africa

This mountain, like Kirkjufell, is another horizontal peak which does not reach particularly high. Despite this, it is very lovely to behold, especially as it rises against the sea, echoing the strong horizontal of the ocean. It is a unique peak which is different from any other in the world, and is instantly recognizable once you have seen it.

5. Ama Dablam, Nepal

This mountain is quite amazing, and has a very unique appearance. Looking at it, you will notice that there are a number of sharply contrasting, surprising angles in the rock. When snow settles on the peak, you will see these unusual angles even more clearly. Ama Dablam is one of the most amazing mountains in the world, there is no denying. It rises 6856 meters above sea level, and was first climbed by Gil Bishop and Ward in the year 1961.
