About this audio guide
This guide takes you fifteen metres down into the ice of the Matterhorn Glacier Palace above Zermatt, a gallery cut into the glacier between the Klein Matterhorn and the Breithorn. It is about the people who work here, the ice artists who keep returning to the sculptures, and the slow-moving partner they share the job with. Best heard while walking the tunnels, before you reach the crevasse.
