Spectacular Journeys in Valais

The Zermatt Bergbahnen AG take visitors right to Europe’s highest mountain station – at amazing 3,883 metres.

The glacier to the west of the Wildstrubel is flat, 200 metres thick in places, and drains mainly towards Lenk in the Bernese Oberland but also into the Rhone Valley in Valais.

Petite Arvine des Mers du Sud II is a Swiss-registered 38-foot (11m95 long, 3m98 wide) Beneteau Oceanis luxury monohull that can accommodate up to ten guests. To enjoy a cruise in the greatest comfort, the ideal number of passengers is between four and six.

The Allalinhorn above Saas-Fee is what gave the area its name. With the right equipment and in the company of a mountain guide, the four-thousand-metre peak is a relatively easy climb for a sporty mountaineer.

Already the Romans trod this path from the main Valais valley to the north. The historic Gemmipass crossing unites Leukerbad with Kandersteg – without roads, instead mountain rail.

Some people say that the Matterhorn is best viewed from the Rothorn, since it showcases its pyramid shape perfectly. And who are we to argue? The mountains to the east of Zermatt are great viewpoints.

The dreamscape connecting the charming town of Zermatt to Testa Grigia is here, and it's enchanting. Dive into a magical journey that not only defies boundaries between two picturesque countries but also raises the bar for alpine experiences.

Surrounded by no fewer than 29 peaks above 4,000 meters, such as the majestic Matterhorn and the Dufourspitze as well as the third-longest glacier of the Alps, Gornergrat rewards visitors with unparalleled views.

The Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway takes visitors back to the golden age of steam railways in Switzerland.

The moment when the sun kisses the Matterhorn awake is unique. During this exclusive sunrise trip on the Gornergrat Bahn cog rail, guests can marvel at Switzerland’s most famous mountain as they see it in a whole new light. The perfect experience for nature enthusiasts, pleasure-seekers and lovers.

The Aletsch Arena offers an impressive mountain backdrop in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch, with a view of the longest glacier in the Alps, the Great Aletsch Glacier.

Above the treeline, on a terrace created by a glacier, you soon discover the sun-spoilt Alps of the Lötschen Valley: Kummenalp, Hockenalp, Lauchernalp, Weritzalp and Tellialp.

The ski safari in Zermatt includes much more than just skiing. Those who take on the challenge cover more than 10,000 metres of altitude in one day. An impressive performance!

The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn is an Alpine adventure railway par excellence. The line is 144 kilometres long, running from Zermatt to Disentis and from Andermatt to Göschenen, covering a difference in altitude of 3,300 metres, passing through 33 tunnels and galleries, and crossing 126 bridges and viaducts along the way. The lowest point of the journey is Visp, at 625 metres above sea level, and the highest the Oberalppass at 2,033 metres above sea level.

This easy-to-climb 3,000-metre peak in the Val d’Anniviers valley is often described as the best mountain in the Valais for views. You can see into the high mountains, the Weisshorn and Dent Blanche close by and the Matterhorn in the distance.

Three exciting rail lines lead to the Emosson reservoir. The adventure begins in Martigny, passing through the deep ravine of the Trient valley before ending at the 180-metre-high dam.
