Intro

Europe's highest open-air cog railway has been transporting visitors from Zermatt to the summit of Gornergrat at 3,089 metres above sea level since 1898. Every second of the 9,339 metre, 33 minute-long trip is an incomparable delight. 29 peaks over four-thousand metres – from the Matterhorn to the Monte Rosa massif with the highest mountain in Switzerland (the Dufourspitze at 4,634 metres above sea level) – all lined up in a row. The viewing platform is open all year-round and offers the best view of the Matterhorn. It is also included in the ticket price.
