For the longest time, the people dreamt about climbing the Matterhorn. But the mountain was considered as invincible - until July 1865, when a few dared the ascent: four Englishmen, one French and two Swiss.

Edward Whymper, Michel Auguste Croz, Reverend Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, Douglas Hadow as well as Peter Taugwalder Father and Son, they were the first on the peak of the Matterhorn. A great moment for humanity, a tremendous success in the history of alpinism. But the triumph turned into tragedy.

The tragedy and first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865 can be interactively experienced In the videobook "Death on the Matterhorn". The videobook, accompanied with the SRF documentary drama, recounts the drama with video sequences, interactive graphics and in-depth texts that occurred 150 years ago on the most prominent summit of the Alps and complements the SRF documentary with a further narrative dimension.
