Below
the village square, the museum offers visitors the sunken world of
"Zermatlantis" a staged archaeological site that reveals a world of
powerful images and incredible stories.
In
underground rooms, one wanders through mountain huts and hear the wind
blow over the peaks: in the heart of the village, Zermatlantis Museum
immerses visitors in the fascinating history of the Matterhorn from its
origins in Africa through the drama of the first ascent.
After that, we understand that this emblem of Switzerland, known all
over the world, not only has its reputation to its natural pyramid
shape, but much more to climbers who have always sought new challenges
there.
Over the 148 years that have elapsed since the first ascent of Edward
Whimper, they are very likely to have faced the proud "Horu" as the
locals call.
