At the lowest alttitude, the hill level is covered with vegetation, for example, vines. Then, at the mountain level, man still plants fruits and potatoes.
The biggest part of the Tour Matterhorn is located over, at the subalpine and alpine levels. Perfectly adapted plants grow here. Mostly, they are small shrubs (for example rhododendrons or whortleberry) and alpine flowers, like the edelweiss.
Higher, we reach the nival level, where it seems improbable to see plants. In many place, we find lichen and moss. An attentive eye will nevertheless find, in sheltered locations, diverse alpine flowers, such as the glacier buttercups and the Vandellis androsace.
