As far as local history museums go, this is one of the best anywhere. It helps that the subject…read morematter is so iconic. The museum focuses on the scaling of the Matterhorn, and how the town culture developed around Alpine climbing. You'll find all sorts of artifacts like the original ropes and ice axes used to climb the matterhorn. The museum has three levels. The first is the main entrance, ticket booth, and gift shop. There are lockers to leave bags and hangars for jackets. The second level is below the street and is a metal grate walkway with historical items. The deepest and final level has the largest selection of artifacts and information. An audio guide is available in many languages but you'll need to download an app. Staff is minimal but does speak English.

Entry fee CHF 10, but was part of our 10 day Collette tour of Alpine Trains and Scenic Lakes. Severe space restrictions, with most of the museum underground. Three stories, with only the top story above ground. The bottom two floors have a constructed replica of a 19th century Swiss village, with stuffed farm animals, and furnishings from the period. You walk down the main street of Zermatt, only from 200 years ago. Film depicts life back in the older days, and the equipment used to climb the Matterhorn. Model of the mountain, where you may press a button next to the first successful hike to the top by that particular pathway, and see the lighted guided path alongside the mountain. The earliest hikes from the 1860s were on the more gradual inclines, whereas the latest hikes were on the very steep cliff faces. Today about 3000 people successfully climb the mountain annually, as it is described as a moderate climb, but exposed to the elements. About 150 people try to climb the mountain daily, which takes 9-12 hours. The last third is through snow and ice, requiring crampons. Only a handful of those 150 will make it to the top and back. About a handful die each year, with some 500 people killed in attempting the climb throughout the ages. There is even a cemetery for those killed on the mountain. A much more formidable mountain to climb is France's Mt Blanc, tallest mountain in Europe, with some 8,000 climbers killed! There are guides who for about 1300 Euros will take you to the top of Matterhorn, to have your selfie picture taken!

We had no idea this place existed. We were wandering through the Parco Valentino shortly after…read morearriving in Turin as the park was just to the end of the street we were staying at. And lo and behold, this medieval city which was built in the 19th century happened to tower over us. A bit weird but hey there it was. They have built this place to show how people in the Piemonte lived in medieval times and there are quite a few buildings including a castle and so on. Worth a walk through if you happen to be in the park. The park itself is quite big and this is at one end of the park away from the city centre of Turin. You can also get here by ferry and it will drop you off right in front of the place from the city.

This place was nice at first, seeing the beautiful views after a long hike. It was easy to get…read moreseated but long to get food The food was not very good, was definitely easily made with canned pasta sauce, frozen meats, and some instant spaghetti noodles. In fact it was probably one of the worst spaghettis I've had. I would only get it if I was absolutely starving from a long hike which I was. The waiter in the end asked for an additional tip while his service was poor and service fees are already included in the cost of the meals. Overall, I had a poor experience here and had terrible food. I do not recommend coming here.

Entry to this museum is included in the Schilthorn cable car ticket. The Schilthorn revolving…read morerestaurant was the first revolving restaurant in the world and they actually ran out of money and the film company that made On Her Majesty's Secret service helped finance the building so that it could be Blowfeld's evil base. There is interesting information on the film, the actors, actresses and the Olympic winning stuntmen that did the skiing. There is information on how the movie being shot here changed the area which was interesting. There were non-interactive and interactive exhibitions. The most fun being the helicopter simulator tour, the put yourself in the movie silly photos and the film your own bobsled he race - we did the fight scene and the film is very silly! I was dubious but it was good fun and useful to have something to do when waiting for the cloud to clear or for the coach load of tourists to move on

We had never heard of this place so it was a complete surprise! This is exactly how it should be. I don't want to spoil this surprise but will just say it is well worth the trip. Just go and let yourself be swept away by this beautiful history. I love how his film history is separated from his wonderful home and family life. We've gone from not knowing much about Charlie Chaplin to absolutely adoring him. What a life!!
