The fantastic weather and the magnificent panoramic view. The refreshments on the sun terrace, the VR experience in the ZOOM world. The golden locomotive. Time passed far too quickly and we already had to get back on the train down.

I purchased skip the line but it was just a mad dash of bodies to get on the train. No other complaints. It was a beautiful day on top of the world!

We loved the train ride up to the Gornergrat station at the top. We were only disappointed that it was too cloudy and foggy to actually see the Matterhorn. We picked the wrong date to visit the mountain. We just loved the Zermatt village with all its fun shops, restaurants, and hotels. Zermatt was definitely a highlight of our trip to Switzerland.

La normalidad con la que se sube a 3000m en tren, y la organizacion del trayecto, todo perfecto. El lugar es magnifico, totalmente recomendable

We were very happy to be able to use the fast entrance, otherwise we would not have made the 10:00 train to Gornergrat. There were so many tourists there who all still wanted to take the 10:00 train. It was a great experience to go to the Gornergrat and be so close to the Matterhorn. I will never forget the beautiful view. Many photos will remind us of the great trip.

Your Experience

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.
