Zermatt
After breakfast at your Swiss Deluxe Hotel in Zermatt, it is well worth taking the Matterhorn Glacier Ride to the highest mountain station in Europe, the Kleinmatterhorn, at 3,883 metres above sea level. This vantage point offers the best views of the Matterhorn and its surrounding peaks in the Italian, French and Swiss Alps. A little lower down (3,089 metres above sea level) is the Gornergrat – worth visiting for the journey on the cog railway alone, but also the spectacular views of the Matterhorn and Dufourspitze.
