The Matterhorn Museum – Zermatlantis offers an underground exhibition revealing Zermatt's history, including the triumph and tragedy of the 1865 first ascent of the Matterhorn where four of seven climbers died. Visitors can view the broken rope from that fateful climb, see how 19th-century Zermatt inhabitants lived, examine original artifacts, and explore a multimedia room dedicated to the Alps' mountain heritage.
