Literally translated, the Bergsteiger Friedhof means mountain climber’s graveyard

It is truly one of the most well kept graveyards in the world, and, as we understand it, this is the resting place of those locals that have met their end while climbing the Matterhorn. Make no mistake though, this is no tourist location. Instead, we see it as a shrine to loved ones departed.
