The experience was great, although very crowded and touristy. The gondola was broken, so paid for that feature, but did not get in either direction. It was disappointing. The train was filled with large tour groups, so standing room only on the train going down. That being said, I still would recommend.

Magnificent view of the glacier, and don't hesitate to go as far as the highest restaurant (alpinist hut, 40-minute walk). There are no more Asian tourists, who are simply unbearable (they think they're alone in the world and take a photo every second, so everyone has their own way of visiting).

We appreciated the speed with which we got on the train. On the other hand, we had 4 tickets and ended up with only 3 as my husband fell ill that morning and couldn't come. I mentioned this to the ticket inspector but he didn't react! I think a gesture on your part would have been good publicity and would have shown your courtesy, as this event was beyond our control and I'm very sorry. was beyond our control and I'm sorry I lost that money. So my feelings are mixed...

Guten Tag Unser Ausflug war top😄. Das "Vor"-Ticket konnte ich zu Hause ausdrucken, musste jedoch das Original-Ticket noch abholen. Ich fand dies nicht so gut. Besser wäre es, wenn man das Original-Ticket zu Hause schon ausdrucken könnte. Es spart Zeit, wenn man allenfalls etwas spät dran ist um die Bahn zu erreichen. Beste Grüße Monika Weber
