My stay at Gornergrat made a huge impression on me. The views were incredible—the panorama of the Alps, including the majestic Matterhorn, was breathtaking. The mountain air made it possible to truly relax and enjoy nature, and yes, I found an ibex! I had the pleasure of trying Valais Platter and a glass of local wine. It was such a perfect combination—alpine views, meat, and wine—that I cried. For moments like these, I'll be back again and again.

The excursion to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend going BUT remember to take your time when walking/climbing stairs...your at almost 13,000 feet above sea level at the top!! Using this website to purchase tickets was fine BUT I was never able to see the actual tickets that the confirmation email from Headout sent me. They also sent me a message via WHATAPP with a link to "view tickets" but it didn't work. Fortunately, I could show my confirmation code at the Zermatt lift station and was given my lift pass to use for the day.

I especially appreciated that once I was at the top I could stay for as many hours as I wished, only limited by the time of the last ride down. This gave me time to fully enjoy being at the top, to sketch and photograph the beautiful, dramatic mountain view's, and also see the "Zoom in" movie.

We had a great day. Everyone was helpful. The restaurant food was better than expected. Unfortunately, the lift to the viewing platform was under construction, so we could not go to it.
