It was the best choice I could have made. It was really worth it. In three days, I was able to visit eight different cities, travel by train, bus, tram, cable car, and boat, without having to worry about any other tickets. It was truly a magnificent experience, and I will definitely do it again. Thank you for making life easier for tourists. 🙏

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!

Surreal. The beauty is beyond human imagination. Any word used to describe the beauty of Swiss Alps is an understatement. The train ride was very comfortable.

Round-Trip Train Tickets to Mount Gornergrat from Zermatt

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.
