A Korean climber died Tuesday on the Matterhorn in Switzerland, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

The unidentified climber fell to his or her death from a height of about 3,700 meters while returning to the base, according to the report. Other Korean climbers in the same hiking group were rescued by helicopter.
