Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn

Route: Göschenen/Disentis - Andermatt - Oberwald - Brig - Zermatt (- Gornergrat)

From Göschenen (connection from Zurich/Lucerne/Milan), the trip leads through the wild Schöllenen gorge up to Andermatt. Or how about beginning in Disentis and continuing your ride via the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn towards Andermatt, crossing the Oberalp Pass (2,033 m ü.M., 6,709 ft.a.sl.) and along Lake Oberalp making wide curves all the way to Andermatt.

From Andermatt on level ground through the Urseren valley to Realp and from there through the 16 km long Furka tunnel to the sunny and lovely Goms (headwater of the Rhone), the wide, high valley with its sun-tanned villages typical for the Valais. From Brig, the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn brings you to Zermatt, the car-free village at the foot of the Matterhorn. The journey leads through a wildly romantic valley offering an outlook up to numerous mountain peaks and glaciers. Shortly before Zermatt, the Matterhorn comes into view and enthralls you for the first time with its splendor. Seat reservations incl. supplement are required only for the Glacier Express trains on the sector Disentis-Brig-Zermatt.
