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.

The price should not be considered in relation to what we will see and what beautiful memories we will have for the rest of our lives 🤩 Tickets sent in email and via app. From the Tasch itself to the Matterhorn hassle-free and in fact everything included 🤩 In Zermatt, it's either a leisurely about 20 minute walk to where the cable car is or a cab for about 30F. On site before the queue you just have to show at the ticket office the number from your reservation and the lady prints tickets that later open all the gates for us. The summit as well as the ice museum will never let us forget it. We were with children 4 and 7 years old so they had free 🤩 Altitude sickness only manifested itself at the very top. Son 4l couldn't walk because his legs hurt and he was severely disoriented and didn't know what was going on, daughter 7l had a headache. We adults had a hard time breathing and were also dizzy. This has to be taken into account. I highly recommend buying tickets here!

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.

Zermatt was nothing short of magical, and the train journey up to see the iconic Toblerone mountain (the Matterhorn) was an experience in itself. From the moment we boarded, the views just kept getting better—snow-covered peaks, charming alpine scenery, and that quiet, peaceful feeling you only get in the mountains. The train ride was smooth, well-organised, and absolutely worth it for the panoramic views alone. Seeing the Matterhorn up close felt surreal, like stepping into a postcard. Everything was clean, efficient, and very Swiss, which made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you’re in Zermatt, this train journey is a must. It’s not just a way to get there—it’s part of the adventure, and one I’d happily do again.
