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.

The Gornergrat (3,089 m) is one of those places that should be on every traveler's bucket list. Part of the fun is the cogwheel train ride up from Zermatt to Gornergrat. The 30-minute ride will take you from an altitude of 1,605 m to 3,089 m, up to the Gornergrat ridge. A masterpiece of 19th-century engineering, the cogwheel the Gornergrat Bahn was the world’s first fully electrified cog railway. Today it is a modern, eco-friendly railway and will take you through idyllic forests, rocky ravines, gorges, and high alpine landscapes.
When you reach the Gornergrat, enjoy exceptional views of 29 four-thousand meter peaks, including the jagged toothed mountain, Matterhorn in all its glory. You'll also get to see the Monte Rosa massif, with Switzerland’s highest peak (Dufourspitze, 4,634 m), apart from the second-largest glacier in the Alps, the Gorner Glacier. A must-see at the summit station on the Gornergrat is Europe’s highest-altitude hotel: the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat. Facilities include a restaurant, an astronomical observatory, and boutique shops.
