Ananova:

The Little Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps is about to get bigger after officials announced plans to build an 'extension'.

The 3,883 metre high Klein Matterhorn is overshadowed by its bigger brother which, at 4,478 metres, is the seventh highest mountain in the Alps.

But officials from the local tourism board in Zermatt say that is about to change and they are going to add 120 metres to the mountain in the form of a glass pyramid.

Spokeswoman Eva Flatau said: "We're going to build a pyramid on top of the Klein Matterhorn so that it reaches over 4,000 metres. This will give it more prestige among mountain climbers and will increase the number of tourists."

The pyramid will include viewing platforms, a restaurant and even a few rooms where visitors can stay overnight.

Building on the mountain's extension will begin next year.
