The Matterhorn Museum

Here one is immersed in the mountain world of past generations: One sees how the people lived in Zermatt in the 19^th century and shudder at the sight of the broken rope from the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. Four of the seven climbers lost their lives at that time. And one looks in wonder at “Theo,” the 16^th century mercenary who did not succeed in crossing the Theodul Pass.
