Lesson 3-2Matterhorn man
It is hard for us
to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers．Except for one or two places such as
Zermatt and Chamonix, which had rapidly become popular, Alpine villages tended
to be impoverished settlements cut off from civilization by the high mountains．Such inns as there were were generally
dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often
twelve months old, all washed down with coarse wine．Often a valley boasted no inn at all, and
climbers found shelter wherever they could---sometimes with the local priest
(who was usually as poor as his parishioners), sometimes with shepherds or
cheese-makers．Invariably the background was the same:
dirt and poverty, and very uncomfortable．For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and
sleeping between fine linen sheets at home, the change to the Alps must have
been very hard indeed．
