A very sobering and even sad place to remember those who Chose to Climb the Matterhorn and lost their young lives. Many were in their teens and early twenties when they met their end, before their lives had truly begun. The graves of the original group that was led by Edward Whymper are here as well. They summited successfully in 1865 but met disaster on the way down. The cemetery is located behind St. Mauritius Catholic Church and is open 24/7. It is well maintained and a very interesting place to visit.

Very interesting cemetery with buried fallen hikers of the mighty Matterhorn. Just walking through and reading the epitaphs and dates of birth and death is fascinating. Across the street is a dedication on a wall with sculptures that you have to see to believe!

A local cemetery, with a corner dedicated to mountaineers who lost their lives climbing the Matterhorn, the mountain which overlooks the town of Zermatt. Take a quiet walk here to commemorate their lives. Well-maintained and much-visited by the community.

Ein stiller, berührender Ort voller Geschichte und Respekt

Der Bergsteigerfriedhof in Zermatt, direkt neben der Kirche, ist ein Ort, der tief bewegt und nachdenklich macht. Zwischen den gepflegten Gräbern, Blumen und Gedenktafeln spürt man nicht nur die Ruhe, sondern auch die große Geschichte des Alpinismus – und die Schicksale derer, die ihr Leben in den Bergen ließen.

Viele der Gedenksteine erzählen von mutigen Menschen, die beim Versuch, das Matterhorn oder andere Gipfel zu bezwingen, ums Leben kamen. Einige Tafeln zeigen berührende Worte, kleine Gegenstände, ja sogar Kletterausrüstung – was das Gedenken noch greifbarer macht. Es ist kein Ort der Trauer allein, sondern einer des Innehaltens, der Ehrfurcht und der Erinnerung.

Trotz seiner kleinen Größe ist der Friedhof voller Bedeutung. Er liegt ruhig und friedlich, eingebettet in das Zentrum von Zermatt, und lädt ein, kurz zu verweilen, innezuhalten und die Geschichte hinter dem imposanten Matterhorn zu spüren.

Meine Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen – ein würdevoller Ort, den man in Zermatt auf keinen Fall auslassen sollte. Berührend, eindrucksvoll und still zugleich.

Der Friedhof liegt direkt an der Kirche. Und der Kirche gegenüber das Wohnhaus der Taugwalders. Gleich gegenüber der Kirche liegt das spannende und interessante Museum (mit dem Original gerissenen Seil und den Schuhen der Erstbesteigung etc.)Zermattlantis. Und das alte, berühmte...

Thank you for the photo of Donald Williams’ gravestone, complete with his climbing axe. He was my best friend growing up together in New York City, and I was devastated when I heard of his death while climbing. I look forward to visiting him once again when I get to...
