	swissinfo - “King of the Alps” dies
		Inderbinen was born on December 3, 1900, into a family of mountain farmers.
		Inderbinen said one of the best periods of his life came after his 80th birthday, when he started competing in skiing races for fun.
		Inderbinen saw huge changes in Zermatt during his life, but was reluctant to move with the times himself, preferring to do without a telephone, car or bicycle.

	[Deathwatch] Ulrich Inderbinen, Swiss mountain guide, 103
		Inderbinen was born into a family of nine children on Dec. 3, 1900, and spent most of his childhood tending animals in the mountains above Zermatt, which was still an impoverished farming community rather than a top international resort.
		Inderbinen showed himself thoroughly safe and reliable, so I hope to climb with him more frequently," wrote his first customer, a German doctor, in comments that were subsequently echoed by hundreds of other climbers.
		Inderbinen took time off only once, when he was grounded for 10 days with a shoulder injury after slipping on an icy path.

		Inderbinen met life with the same equanimity as the mountains, his dry wit punctuating his monumental energy.
		Inderbinen served in the ski patrol of the Swiss army.

		When Inderbinen was born, on December 3 1900, Zermatt was a poor farming village of 740 people.
		Equipment was rudimentary: instead of the modern fur or felt to stick to the bottom of the skis for the upward climb, string and rope were wrapped around them.
		In fact Inderbinen worked as a mountain guide until he was well into his 80’s, and for a while he enjoyed the title of “the world’s oldest mountain guide”.

		Ulrich was born in Zermatt to parents who practiced transhumance, moving to higher altitudes with their livestock as the weather warmed, and spending the winters at lower altitudes.
		Although the Alps changed enormously during Inderbinen’s career, he remained a very traditional man. He had no telephone, automobile or even bicycle and stood in the Zermatt town square to attract clients, in the manner of Victorian mountain guides.
		He was a paragon of health who only took 10 days off in his entire career, never wore glasses and first visited a dentist at the age of 74.
