The railway is a technical masterpiece. Hats off to the people who made it possible years ago!!!! The view of the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountain giants was wow! The viewing platform, the dining facilities, and the exhibition are very well designed. Despite good organization when boarding and exiting the train, there was some jostling. There were simply too many people!

We explored the Matterhorn with the Gornergrat railway. Everything worked out well with the tickets so far, with one criticism: we lined up with the CR code tickets we were sent, but we discovered that you have to redeem the CR code ticket for the actual entry ticket at the ticket counter beforehand. So, after a long wait in line, we had to go back to the ticket counter. Suggested solution: maybe a note during ticket purchase that you first have to get a real ticket, or did I miss that?

We went early, queued before it opened & had the best views without the crowds - absolutely stunning! Wonderful seeing all the different peaks from up there along with climbers heading further up. I don't necessarily agree with the need to ski in August but some were being pulled up (& down!) by snow mobiles - spoilt the tranquility really. The ice caves were something else, wow! The sculptures were amazing! Worth every penny (even the 2chf to use the loo, which you get back if you buy anything even a coffee)

We booked a tour because we were afraid that it would be difficult to navigate on our own. The tour was cancelled, so we bought the cable car tickets online. How fortunate for us that the tour was cancelled! The cable car was so easy to use, and we saved a lot of money by booking ourselves. We were able to spend the day at our leisure, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend booking this on your trip to Zermatt.

This is an ESSENTIAL trip for anyone visiting Switzerland. 'Stunning' doesn't do justice to the views you get, and it is surprising how quickly you climb out from Zermatt to see views to die for. Don't be put off if it's cloudy in the town, likelihood is the clouds will only be in the valley, and up above will be warm and sunny (as it was for us last week). I took the opportunity to hike down between two fo the train stations when we came down - probably the most beautiful walk I've ever done. 100% a 'must do'......
