Description

Guido von List was an ardent and enthusiastic mountaineer. On one of these adventures List came very close to losing his life. While climbing a mountain on May 8 1871 in the place named X in the "Groben Höllental" (Valley of Hell) [The route up the Zugspitze on the German side], a mass of ice gave way under his feet and he fell some distance. He was apparently saved only by the fact that he had landed on a soft surface covered by a recent snowfall. In memory of his good luck and to help others, out of his own expense List had a track equipped with a chain put up and officially opened by him on June 21 1871. It was also named after him the "Guido-List-Steig".
