You might remember this last Zermatt trip to the Gornergrat (3,089 m). This is one of those places that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime. The mountain panorama and the glorious view of the Matterhorn are unforgettable. You can even sleep at the Gornergrat Kulm hotel but of course get off the train at any station below and enjoy the mind-blowing view. Rotenboden or Riffelalp are worth to get off and either go on a lovely winter hike, sledging or visit the igloo dorf and relax while sipping on a delicious drink. Of course all of this with the Matterhorn view.

The cogwheel railway takes you up from the village to 3,100 metres above sea level. Even the journey is a great experience with a constant view of the Matterhorn. You can’t get enough of the panorama at the top – mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see.

Make sure to grab a seat at the window (ride side in direction of travel). Because you will be amazed by the magnetic beauty of the Matterhorn along the whole ride!
