If you are in Zermatt this is one of the trips that you should definitely do. The train ride is good fun and the views and facilities at the top are excellent. There is also a hotel at the top. If you like this sort of trip then you should also do the cable car ride to the Matterhorn Glacier... more

Each stop has a special view of the Matterhorn and... more

The Gornergrat Railway is a visually stunning 40 minute journey high into the Swiss Alps from the ski town of Zermatt. For much of the journey the famous and dominating peak of the Matterhorn stands tall. As a tip seats on the right hand side of the train have the best views on the way up. We travelled in May... more
