The train ride was comfortable and the scenery majestic. I would encourage anyone visiting Zermatt to take the Gornergtat railway. You really have to see it.

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.

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.

Sit on the right side of the train on the journey up for some of the best Matterhorn views along the route.

Ride along a glacier up from Zermatt to Gornergrat and back on the electric cogwheel train.

Marvel at spectacular views of 29 peaks from the year-round viewing platform at Gornergrat.

Catch sight of the world-famous Matterhorn, which straddles the frontier between Switzerland and Italy.
