The opportunity to see up to 34 4000-metre peaks and 14 glaciers as well as the magnificent, varied views on the Selbahn ride at a reasonable price. Plus the glacier grotto, which really impressed us. The term "glacier paradise" is no exaggeration.
It's worth noting that the train route has several intermediate stations, which offers plenty of opportunities for getting on and off the train. For example, getting off at Torckenen Steg on the return journey and getting on again at Furi, after the descent had, contrary to expectations, taken its toll on our bones.
Also worth mentioning during our two-night stay: The friendliness and courtesy of the locals!
We are happy to recommend Zermatt in every respect.

The scenery was breathtaking! We definitely recommend taking this journey to the top!
On our day the Ice Palace was closed for maintenance and the sound system in the Cinema Lounge area wasn't working. Fortunately there was plenty of scenery all around to take in!

This experience is perfect for my first time using the app, everything was very fast, I showed the reservation I made in the app and they already had my ticket printed, it didn't even take 2 minutes to check me in.

The transfer went really well. Every station is perfectly organized. No long queues, trains arrive every few minutes and gondolas run constantly. It was a super nice day as a result. Thank you

It was an excellent journey.. I was fascinated to learn about green energy that is used in a way that three trains going down generate enough energy for two trains to go up. The scenery was out of this world. Matterhorn stands so uniquely distinguished and beautiful from the rest but the rest of the mountain lines were also very beautiful. Also what I didn't know and luckily I did it that zoom matterhorn experience is actually included in the train ticket. Zoom matterhorn experience was fabulous too. It was a once in a life time grandeur experience that me and my Mrs had. Thankyou.

Of course, the beautiful view from the Gornergrat and the closely timed trains. However, why do you have to take an analog ticket from a machine when you already have it on your cell phone? The friendly information staff were a great help though.

"Spectacular mountain trips". I felt blessed, being surrounded by the grandiosity, peace and beauty of the scenery on these two trips in the Alpes.
I suggest do to do the Gornergrat one day, and the Glacier Paradise on another.
Dedicate time to contemplate the magnificence of nature, while having a coffee or a meal.
Enjoy a round trip on the cogwheel train from Zermatt to Gornergrat with stunning Alpine views.
- All aboard the cogwheel train from Zermatt to Gornergrat for one of the most dramatic landscapes of the Swiss Alps!
- With priority access, you'll get to board the train first and get the best seats on the right side toward the Matterhorn!
- The 30-minute ride will take you from an altitude of 1,605 m to 3,089 m, up to the Gornergrat ridge.
- Upon reaching the Gornergrat, take in exceptional views of 29 four-thousand-meter peaks, including the jagged-toothed mountain, Matterhorn in all its glory.
- See the famous Monte Rosa massif, with Switzerland’s highest peak (Dufourspitze, 4,634 m).

The view from the Gornergrat is breathtaking! Train ride also with many beautiful views. Train was unfortunately very full! We were given priority on the uphill journey due to our booking.

We thought we'd get on the train straight away. We had to go and get our tickets from a ticket machine and a friendly person took our tickets out for us. We took our tickets online to save time. We wasted a lot of it. Next time we'll go straight to the ticket office.
