Zermatt - Cemetery

At the bridge over the Vispa, on a strip of land between that river and its tributary the Triftbach, is the Zermatt cemetery, with the graves of many climbers who met their death on the mountains, including Whymper's guide Michel Croz and his companion Hadow. Higher up in the village a few of the old larch-wood storehouses still survive, with large circular slabs of stone on the supporting posts to deter mice.
