Experience an amazing train ride through the alpine mountains up to Gornergrat from Zermatt.
If you want to discover the dazzling beauty of the Alps, you’ll soon realize that the trip to Gornergrat is an essential excursion.Its sunny viewing platform, accessible all year, makes the Gornergrat ridge a top destination – and not just because of its altitude. Surrounded by 29 peaks rising above 4,000 m and by Switzerland’s greatest mountain, the Matterhorn, and second-largest glacier in the Alps, it offers a spectacular mountain panorama second to none. And the “Matterhorn Railway” renders it so close you can almost touch it.For more than 120 years, the Gornergrat railway company has been making the ascent to the panoramic mountain a truly unique and wonderful experience. From Zermatt, the popular holiday resort in the Valais, Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel railway departs daily every 24 minutes, climbing to the Gornergrat 9,339 m away. The train crosses impressive bridges, galleries and tunnels, idyllic forests and alpine meadows, past rocky gorges and tarns, accompanied by the majestic mountains, first and foremost by the Matterhorn.
