Zermatt
Nature, man and landscapes
- Discover the vision of a passionate in a richly illustrated book
- Learn about the challenges of a small but dynamic region
- Access the most thorough information about the high summits of the Alps
- Find out how Zermatt interacts with the best known mountain in the world: the Matterhorn
The aim of this book is to present the geographical aspects of a little region unequalled anywhere in the Alps. There is more to the world of Zermatt than the pair consisting of the village and its emblematic mountain, the Matterhorn. What is remarkable is the transformation over time of a little mountain peasant village into a world-renowned tourist resort. Perhaps nowhere else is there a finer example of the interface between man and nature, reflecting a deep respect for the environment.
