Second only to the majestic castles that grace Disney Parks worldwide, mountains of every shape and size are an Imagineering staple. Thematically powerful. Eye- catching. Dramatic homes to thrilling park attractions. From time immemorial, mountains have stood as towering challenges to humankind — no matter how imposing or treacherous, people everywhere clamor to scale even the highest peaks in the name of discovery.
While these Disney mountains aren’t for climbing (though some professionals occasionally ascend the Matterhorn at Disneyland), they offer adventure of another sort. Hidden inside these peaks lie heart- pounding thrill rides, rich stories, and that indefinable spirit found within the best Disney creations. Few will ever get the chance to conquer the actual Matterhorn or Mount Everest, so why not try the next best thing?
