Experiences at the foot of glaciers, on green alpine pastures, at idyllic mountain lakes. Should it be the unforgettable mountain tour – in the face of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the Alps? Or the excursion to the easily accessible mountain peak? And if you want to go even higher, a sightseeing flight around the Matterhorn – in Zermatt you will experience unique moments – tailored exactly to your needs.
With its sunny observation platform accessible all year, the Gornergrat, at an altitude of 3,089 m, has been one of Switzerland’s top excursion destinations since 1898. The Gornergrat Bahn was the world’s first fully electrified cog railway. Today it is a modern, eco-friendly railway, equipped with a regenerative braking system that generates electricity on the descent and so saves energy. Thus the energy for one to two new mountain drives is won by three downhill drives.
4,478 metres pure perfection, the majestic Matterhorn – certainly the most famous mountain in Europe – looms over the breathtaking Alpine panorama. This Switzerland landmark is at the border of the western Swiss canton of Valais between Zermatt and the Italian resort of Breuil-Cervinia, and offers a paradise for all nature-lovers looking for peace and quiet. Its symmetric pyramid shape, the rocky tooth reaching the sky and the light reflections of the nearby Stellisee make the Matterhorn’s landscape a unique natural spectacle in Zermatt.
