We had a fantastic day with a cloudless sky, so we were able to enjoy the mountain and glacier scenery. The preferred approach worked wonderfully. We already had a fantastic view of the Matterhorn on the ascent.

We took the train to Gornergrat on a rainy morning. When we arrived it was snowing! We did not get to see the Matterhorn due to the the cloud cover However it was an amazing experience!!! The earlier you go the less crowded it is. The train ride to Gornergrat provided exceptional views of Zermatt! Even though the weather was not ideal it was a wonderful experience

Everything was fine but the priority boarding lane wasnt open, so we couldn't board first. We had to wait for a big group of senior citizens to board first.

Imposing mountain world up close, or right in the middle of it! Sensational!

The Gornergrat (3,089 m) is one of those places that should be on every traveler's bucket list. Part of the fun is the cogwheel train ride up from Zermatt to Gornergrat. The 30-minute ride will take you from an altitude of 1,605 m to 3,089 m, up to the Gornergrat ridge. A masterpiece of 19th-century engineering, the cogwheel the Gornergrat Bahn was the world’s first fully electrified cog railway. Today it is a modern, eco-friendly railway and will take you through idyllic forests, rocky ravines, gorges, and high alpine landscapes.

When you reach the Gornergrat, enjoy exceptional views of 29 four-thousand meter peaks, including the jagged toothed mountain, Matterhorn in all its glory. You'll also get to see the Monte Rosa massif, with Switzerland’s highest peak (Dufourspitze, 4,634 m), apart from the second-largest glacier in the Alps, the Gorner Glacier. A must-see at the summit station on the Gornergrat is Europe’s highest-altitude hotel: the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat. Facilities include a restaurant, an astronomical observatory, and boutique shops.
