The History of the Matterhorn

Facts and legends, alpine feats, a refreshing humanity, information and entertainment find a harmonious balance in this book. In his giving of information the Zermatter Beat P. Truffer avoids a purely anecdotal style. On the other hand the amusing character of the book prevents him from losing himself in facts and figures, such as dates, altitudes, rope lengths and cold bivouac nights.

The author of this book, himself an enthusiastic mountaineer and connoisseur of the Valaisian Alps, narrates the first ascents via the various ridges, walls, the history of the twelve Matterhorn huts and he has all kinds of tales about the Matterhorn in store

All in all, Beat P. Truffer has issued a book which will most certainly be considered a standard work in future
