Description
The open-air exhibition Peak Collection brings mountain enthusiasts closer to the mountain world. Mountain guides carried stones from the peaks of the portrayed mountains and expressed their personal experiences with this summit in individual texts. Their mountain texts are signed. Stone, word and image were integrated by the mountain guide Willy Taugwalder. The sculptures are arranged in a circle of about 100 m around the Rothorn restaurant and each point to the characteristics of one or two mountains.
- 18 artistic metal sculptures, each dedicated to one or two mountains
- Texts by the mountain guides as well as information about the height of the mountain, date of the first ascent with names of the first climbers in German, French, English, Japanese
