About this audio guide
This guide to Rothorn paradise in Zermatt opens with a riddle about the cabin that just carried you above three thousand metres, and replays the ride from the Blauherd station with the Matterhorn on the skyline. Along the way you'll meet the steel rope, the steep gradient, the cabin passing you halfway, and the older 1967 tramway that preceded this one. Best heard on the terrace by the top station, with the cables in view.
