About this audio guide
This guide to Harder Kulm, the summit above Interlaken, follows the money behind the view. It reaches back to an eighteen-ninety concession and the long hunt for someone willing to pay for the climb, and to why a German-speaking mountain once did its paperwork in French. You'll also hear who actually runs the kitchen behind you today. Best heard on the terrace by the restaurant.
