Temat: Dom (mountain)
The Dom is a mountain in the Pennine Alps above Saas Fee in the canton of Valais. With its 4,545 m (14,911 ft) summit it is the third highest peak in the Alps and the second highest in Switzerland. The Dom is the summit of the Mischabel range, the highest massif lying entirely in Switzerland.Although Dom is a German cognate for 'dome', it can also mean 'cathedral' and the mountain is named after Canon Berchtold of Sitten cathedral, the first person to survey the vicinity.[2]
The former name Mischabel comes from an ancient German dialect term for pitchfork, as the highest peaks of the massif stand close to each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_%28mountain%29
