It was a fun experience, going up in the cable car and seeing all the skiers skiing. It was beautiful all the way up and especially at the top. We got dizzy and had a hard time breathing once we got off the cable car and started walking around up there. We are in our 50's and healthy and active so I was surprised how bad we felt. We should have drank water on the way up that may have helped. With that being said we still highly recommended! It was a little expensive but I know it costs alot to keep up with maintenance. We had a long line to wait in going up with all the skiers trying to get up too... we felt like a herd of cattle inching our way along... when we came back down there were no lines. My suggestion is to wait until about noon to go up to avoid lines. Also the lines were a little chaotic... tons of people trying to push their way to the front without any order it seemed. If you didn't continue to keep up you would never make it the front of the line. They need to have better organization with the lines when it's busy. It was an experience we will never forget. It was a great way to finish up our 18 day European vacation! We loved the little village of Zermatt and hope to return someday!

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.
