I thought this was the cemetery of the locals, but after reading the introduction, I realized that it was the cemetery of the climbers. It is on the right side of the picture. In the background are the Alps and small wooden houses.

They came to Zermatt to reach higher levels on earth and tried to touch the sky. They climbed stairways to heaven and ended on the climbers grave yard. Interesting to visit.
The cemetery reminds us that it's not all fun and games up on the mountain.
Interesting and sobering to read the (brief) elaborations that accompany the epitaphs. Unfortunately many of them are difficult or impossible to read, and thee is no apparent effort to preserve them.
This churchyard provides a stark reminder of the dangers of the many attempts to summit this world renowned - The Matterhorn. As you stroll through this small cemetery, your mind wonders at the many s...

It allows you to realize that you are free to live, and that you can freely enjoy the sun and beautiful scenery after death.
The cemetery told the Chinese that it seemed unlucky, and the grave sweeping was also on a specific day. In Zermatt, the cemetery of climbers has become an attraction. Just under the Matterhorn Mountain, Zermatt is a relatively central location. It is free and open for everyone to visit and remember. The cemetery is full of people who died on the Matterhorn, so I love this mountain and love this city, so I stay here. There are also many tourists visiting, and they will stop to take a look and mourn when passing by.
There is a cemetery outside the small town church, where the victims who climbed the Matterhorn are buried. Warriors who love the Matterhorn will sleep here. . .
The Matterhorn Snow Mountain in Zermatt is said to be a ski resort all year round. It is not only famous in Switzerland, but also famous all over the world~ So there are a lot of extreme enthusiasts here, skiing, hiking, and even some Other extreme sports ~ all adventures are risky, so naturally there are a lot of people who die for the limit for hobbies ~ so there is a climber cemetery to commemorate the people who died for this mountain ~ also became Zell A attraction in Carter~
