Audio climate trail to the new Monte Rosa hut
The Gornergrat Bahn and myclimate present the Audio Climate Trail. The audio tour leads from Zermatt to Rotenboden
(2,815 m.a.s.l.) and to the new Monte Rosa hut (2,883 m.a.s.l.). During the approx. three-hour hike, nine five-minute talks
on climate history take you into another time, another climate, another geography. We recommend the accompaniment
of a mountain guide for hikes on the Gorner glacier.
The audio guides (G, E, F) can be hired at Zermatt Tourism, the Alpin Center Zermatt or the Gornergrat Bahn. Deposit
required. More info at www.klimahoerpfad.ch.
The audio guide is also recommended for a Gornergrat excursion. You can listen to the contents during the trip, on the

development staff at Victorinox to respond to the wishes
expressed by customers and make them a reality. This leads

which gives an aesthetic voice to the intelligent function
endows products with an unmistakable identity which

leisure clothing are designed to solve problems, satisfy the
most exacting demands and win hearts thanks to their
cool elegance. They are conceived and produced to be of
benefit to people. They are also products which combine
the aspects of heart and mind, hence our slogan – Made
