About this audio guide
This guide to the Niederhorn above Lake Thun, near Interlaken, is about the wild ibex on the ridge around you and the unlikely paper trail behind them. It reaches back to the hunters who emptied the Swiss Alps of the animal, an Italian king's private hunting reserve, and a decision taken in St. Gallen in nineteen oh six that no official channel would have allowed. Listen from the summit ridge, with an eye on the rocks below the path.
