Description
These culture trails are a project supported by the “Alts-Zermatt” association, which aims to make local history more accessible. From Kirchplatz the trail leads via the Herbrigg into the valley and up to the hamlet of Zmutt and then over Furi back to the village.
There are frequent stations along the way with information relating to cultural life of over 100 years ago – including information about a lynx trap, the management of meadows and fields, climate change and a lot more.
One of the highlight is undoubtedly the barn on the Herbrigg, which is considered one of the oldest in Europe.
