Meet the Sheep

They are as much a part of the Gornergrat as the Matterhorn: the Blacknose sheep. In summer, they attract tourists like magnets – but in winter, things quiet down somewhat. Paul-Marc Julen knows where they are during winter. And why their bleating is part of the sound of Zermatt.

The Blacknose sheep have shaped this region for centuries.
