The “definitive” book on the Matterhorn is not a book on a mountain, but on the mountain. A climb that through a rich iconographic apparatus will take us, in its own way, to the top. In the pages of this book Hervé traces the main stages of mountaineering – a romantic and at the same time competitive activity – that, on the Matterhorn, has experienced its most important transformation: from scientific mountaineering to sports. After many years, we will reread its history, we will know the characters that made this mountain famous in the world, legends, anecdotes, memorable feats… and will bring to the attention of the general public the Matterhorn that nobody knows yet. Even the most “pop”.
