In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: I remember the upstairs bunkroom at the Bahnhoff from the 80's. A fraught love triangle with 2 UIAGM (Scottish) Guides of my aquaintance having a head to head about the same woman on the grass of Fraus garden. We used to joke about Frau (never knew her first name)Biners 2 sons "Kari" & "Ri" - she ran the cheapest and most welcoming place in Zermatt - happy days - RIP Frau Biner.
