    The views were incredible and it was snowing too. Would appreciate more signages leading to the location. Also perhaps a clothes rental service for guests who are not dressed appropriately.

    What beautiful views from the cable car!!
  • Ride the cable car to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise

    Begin your adventure at the Zermatt-Matterhorn valley station. In no time, get to Europe’s highest mountain station – the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise!

    Pass through lush green meadows and enchanting forests as the landscape gradually transforms into impressive moraines and stones made of ice and glaciers, the Trockerner Steg. Here, get into the 3S cable car and transport yourself up the mountain where you can enjoy spectacular views and heated seats as you cross the Theodul Glacier.

    On visiting the summit, go up the viewing platform. You will be awestruck by the 38 alpine giants of the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. Once you reach the cinema lounge, you can watch movies based on mountaineering, the lift facilities, the local flora and fauna, and more.
