    Matterhorn Museum

    The crystalline, state-of-the-art Matterhorn Museum centres on an authentically recreated Valaisan village. It provides a fascinating insight into mountaineering, the dawn of tourism and the lives Matterhorn has claimed. Must-sees include Roosevelt’s letters, Raymond Lambert’s reindeer-skin boots (made to measure after his toes were amputated) and the infamous rope that broke in 1865 and turned the first ascent of Matterhorn into a tragedy.
