Matterhörner

“When I went to Zermatt on 1 August 2013 to spend one night at the Riffelhaus Hotel, I was of the opinion that people were making far too much of the Matterhorn. The mountains in our beautiful Central Switzerland are certainly no less magnificent! But then a strange thing happened: I fell head over heels in love with the Matterhorn and even on my journey home I started thinking about writing a book on Zermatt and the King of Mountains. What a happy coincidence that this book is being published in the year of the 150^th anniversary celebrations of the first ascent of the Matterhorn.”
