Today, let's look back to Europe.
Third Man on the Mountain (1959) was based on a book (
Banner in the Sky), which in turn was based on the real-life first ascent of the
Matterhorn in 1865. The movie was filmed on location in Switzerland, with
Zermatt being the model for the fictional town of Kurtai.
If you're possibly looking to get to Zermatt, here's a list of
The 7 Most Epic Matterhorn Experiences. (Note that one of the experiences is a helicopter ride with Air Zermatt, which is the subject of a series called The Horn that I saw on Netflix.) And of course, if you can't get to Zermatt, there's always the Matterhorn at Disneyland!
