Description
On the border between heaven and earth... It may not be the highest mountain in Europe, but it is said to be the most beautiful. The last peak of the Alps, which had not yet been conquered in the mid-19th century, provoked and attracted climbers who attempted to scale it. Reinhold Messner recounts the 'battle for the Matterhorn' in 1865 – the rivalry between Edward Whymper's expedition and Jean-Antoine Carrel's party. He describes the obsession of the climbers and the desire to achieve something that no one had accomplished before them, but also reveals the magical allure of the mountains, their beauty, and their ruthless rawness. He tells of a friendship that fell apart, of disappointment, and of a great tragedy. Narrator: Martin Stránský Length of recording: 7 hours 59 minutes
