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 whilst climbing or guiding on the Matterhorn. Make no mistake though, this is no tourist location. Instead we see it as a shrine to loved ones departed.
