About this audio guide
This guide to Schwarzsee above Zermatt opens on the chapel's feast day, with a choir singing at the edge of a dark mountain lake. It goes back to two local men out on the Theodul Glacier, on a crossing toward Italy, and to the little chapel of Our Lady of the Snows. You'll also hear why villagers once walked up here in dry summers, and who still stops in after the Matterhorn.
