What an amazing trip with fantastic views of the Matterhorn and glaciers. Would highly recommend this trip to get the best close up views of the Matterhorn. Cable car ride was easy to navigate and a wonderful way to get to the highest viewing platform in Europe. I did feel a little altitude sickness when at the top but soon disappeared once went back down to the next stop.

Excursión de día completo. Se debe llevar abrigo, incluso en verano. Puedes parar en cualquier estación del camino y disfrutar de los paisajes. Las instalaciones son muy correctas y vale la pena pasar media jornada de tu viaje disfrutándolas.

Your experience

Ride the cable car to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise

Begin your adventure at the Zermatt-Matterhorn valley station. In no time, get to Europe’s highest mountain station – the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise!

Pass through lush green meadows and enchanting forests as the landscape gradually transforms into impressive moraines and stones made of ice and glaciers, the Trockerner Steg. Here, get into the 3S cable car and transport yourself up the mountain where you can enjoy spectacular views and heated seats as you cross the Theodul Glacier.

On visiting the summit, go up the viewing platform. You will be awestruck by the 38 alpine giants of the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. Once you reach the cinema lounge, you can watch movies based on mountaineering, the lift facilities, the local flora and fauna, and more.
