This train, which departs from the center of the village of Zermatt and takes you 1,500 meters higher as it climbs incredible inclines through magnificent scenery, is a marvel. The greatest reward awaits at the top, in a cirque of glaciers and peaks over 4,000 meters high, including the famous Matterhorn—the most impressive mountain in the Alps. It’s truly spectacular!

Beautiful scenery with stunning views of the Matterhorn and the glaciers, and a great cogwheel train. Everything was very well organized and went exactly according to plan.

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.

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.
