I purchased two priority tickets for the Matterhorn experience, these are more expensive than the standard tickets and usually grant you priority boarding to avoid the queues and guarantee a seat. When we arrived the priority boarding was closed and after speaking to the team there it appears it had been for several weeks prior. I reached out to Headout hoping to be reimbursed for the extra priority price we paid and I also attached a photo of the signage showing that access temporarily closed. Over a week later and I'm still awaiting a response. The only experience is great, incredible views but the train was very congested in early December with many people standing. Early in the season so the restaurants weren't all open at the top.

On-Line advanced Ticket purchase - 10/10. Check in at Station in Zermatt - 7/10. This was confusiing and time consuming having to scan bar codes on phone to get an actual paper ticket. Why not just use the bar codes as the tickets? Very strange! Actual train rides were on time and trains were spotlessly clean.

The trip on the Gornergrat cogwherl train was wonderful. The scenery was awe inspiring and when we got to the observation area the views were spectacular! Having clean bathrooms was much appreciated. We did not eat but the little shop was busy and had some nice dishes. The actual ticketing was less than acceptable. There was No one there to assist as we had our tickets on my phone and no one directed us to obtain a ticket from the machines. We had to get into the very long lines to find our we could have used our ticket 🎟 in the premineun lane or get one from the machine. A lot of wanted time and energy and almost messed the only train that fit into our schedule.

The train ride was incredible, having previously booked with Head out made it easy in a busy station. Will definitely use them again.
