This is a small hamlet and alp above Zermatt. You pass here when you walk the culture trail.

The barns are grain barns, meaning they were only used to store and dry the sheaves of grain from the terraced fields above the meadows. Unlike the granaries, they only have one doorway, which is usually located in the middle. Immediately behind them, the threshing floor extends the entire length of the building. Each owner had his own compartment on the right or left side of the barn, in which he stored the sheaves that had been brought in. When they were dry, they were threshed on the threshing floor. The grain obtained in this way was then carried down the valley and stored in the granaries or ground directly and baked into bread.

Around the village of Zermatt there are small hamlets that were used for alpine farming and agriculture in the summer in earlier centuries. This includes the hamlet of Herbrigg in the south-western hills above the village, which lies at an altitude of 1,754 m.
