Since the emergence of the coronavirus crisis in Switzerland, different symbols have been projected every night onto the Matterhorn, the iconic mountain of Switzerland.

“Yesterday night, we dedicated the projection to the people of Oman with the message- Many countries suffer from the corona virus. We give hope and strength to the people of Oman and the many expats living there. The Matterhorn shines for them tonight. Together we will overcome the crisis. The Flag of Oman of more than 1000 metres in size was projected on the Matterhorn mountain. We express our solidarity with Oman and hope that this sign will give all people hope and courage to overcome the crisis.”

Zermatt wants this illumination to be a symbol of hope. The village is showing solidarity with all those who are currently suffering and gratitude towards everyone helping to overcome the crisis.
