Intro
High, higher - the Matterhorn glacier paradise. Even the mountain train ride tops all records.
At 3820 m, you step out into a world of snow, ice and mountain peaks. To the west you see the Matterhorn, the most famous mountain in Switzerland, and in the East is the Breithorn with the majestic Monte Rosa behind it. On the broad glacier between the Klein Matterhorn and the Breithorn is the highest Glacier Palace in the world, offering fantastic views of the fascinating world of snow and ice.
A lift travels 15 m into a glacier where glittering ice crystals and ice sculptures generate a world of their own. They are periodically replaced by new creations from different artists. An ice tunnel continues through the glacier to an ice chute or into a crevasse. Soft and fluffy seats are provided on ice benches to make the icy adventure cosy and comfortable.
Directions:
By car from Sierre via Visp to Täsch, from Täsch by train to Zermatt and by mountain transportation to the Matterhorn glacier paradise, by public transportation from Sierre via Visp to Zermatt, mountain transportation.
