Ok, I'm doing some shameless pimping for a friend of mine. Said friend lives in Zermatt, the village near the famous Matterhorn, probably the best known mountain in Switzerland. You know, this one:
He regularly goes climbing, and since he's studying CS he's also a geek. So he sometimes takes one of those cool panorama cameras with him, that can make full 360° pictures.
The results can be seen here:

They are quite spectacular like this one, from the peak of the Matterhorn:

Explore the Alps, without leaving the safety of your armchair !
