| | In fact Inderbinen worked as a mountain guide until he was well into his 80’s, and for a while he enjoyed the title of “the world’s oldest mountain guide”. | | | The Matterhorn still rises majestically above the village, and it remains, for Inderbinen and everyone else who loves it, “far and wide, the most beautiful and fascinating mountain of them all”. | | | One young German climber at first refused to climb with Inderbinen, saying, “I’m not going up with that old man, I’ll end up having to carry him.” A day later, the same man staggered down the mountain again, claiming that Inderbinen’s hiking speed had worn him out. |

| | The problem was, he had never climbed a mountain in his life. | | | For the rest of his life, he lived in the simple house behind the church which he built with his own hands in 1933. | | | Inderbinen took just four hours to reach the summit, leaving men of less than half his age trailing in his wake. |
