This train, which departs from the center of the village of Zermatt and takes you 1,500 meters higher as it climbs incredible inclines through magnificent scenery, is a marvel. The greatest reward awaits at the top, in a cirque of glaciers and peaks over 4,000 meters high, including the famous Matterhorn—the most impressive mountain in the Alps. It’s truly spectacular!

The trip up to the Gornergrat platform on the Glacier Express is already an exceptional and magnificent journey. Unfortunately, the Asians—who think they can do whatever they want, and they’re the only ones who behave this way—stand right in front of the windows wherever they go, unaware that they aren’t the only ones admiring the scenery. Regardless of the number of peaks over 4,000 meters, only one is truly unique and stands out from the rest to take first place among all the peaks in the Alps (the Matterhorn). That’s my opinion, as someone who lives in Savoie, surrounded by mountains.

My stay at Gornergrat made a huge impression on me. The views were incredible—the panorama of the Alps, including the majestic Matterhorn, was breathtaking. The mountain air made it possible to truly relax and enjoy nature, and yes, I found an ibex! I had the pleasure of trying Valais Platter and a glass of local wine. It was such a perfect combination—alpine views, meat, and wine—that I cried. For moments like these, I'll be back again and again.

Take the electric cogwheel train from Zermatt to Gornergrat and back, enjoying the beautiful landscapes of the Swiss Alps along the way.

Beautiful scenery with stunning views of the Matterhorn and the glaciers, and a great cogwheel train. Everything was very well organized and went exactly according to plan.
