Matterhorn Museum, Where history meets the thrill of climbing

Matterhorn Museum, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland

Introduction

The Mattahorn Museum preserves artifacts related to human history of climbing the mountain, including a rope which broke during the first ascent in 1865. Unfortunately, this directly resulted in the deaths of 4 climbers who fell off the 1200 meter high north face. This treasure witnesses the hardship and danger of mountaineering, and reflects the significant risks of climbing the peak.
