Buying tickets in advance was effective because we avoided the queue at the station ticket counters. The Gornergrat is a lovely place and offers a 360-degree view of all the mountains and glaciers surrounding Zermatt.View original review in Italian

The organization was very good, the train ride wonderful, the weather fantastic and the mountains unforgettably beautiful and breathtaking. The raclette at the Gorner Grad Hotel was great. All in all, a fantastic day that will be unforgettable.View original review in German

"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.
