2 Nights / 3 Days Tour Programme
Itinerary
| 1st day | Arrival in Zermatt by train 2nd class from the Swiss border or airport. Enjoy a relaxful stay at this beautiful car free alpine resort at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn (only electric-cars and horse-drawn sleighs are allowed). Overnight in Zermatt. |
| 2nd day | If you want to discover the dazzling beauty of the Alps, you'll soon realise that a trip to Gornergrat at 3089 m is a «must-see» excursion. For more than 100 years the Gornergrat Bahn has been making the ascent to the panoramic mountain a truly unique and wonderful experience. From Zermatt, the popular Gornergrat Bahn, Europe's highest open-air cogwheel railway departs daily every 24 minutes, climbing to the Gornergrat 9.339 km away. The train crosses impressive bridges, galleries and tunnels. In the midst of idyllic forests and alpine meadows, past rocky gorges and tarns. Accompanied by the majestic mountains, first and foremost by the Matterhorn. The Gornergrat's sunny viewing platform, accessible all year, makes the Gornergrat ridge a top destination, and not just because of its altitude. Surrounded by 29 peaks rising to above 4000 m/13'000 ft and by Switzerland's greatest mountain and second longest glacier in the Alps, it offers a spectacular mountain panorama second to none. Overnight incl. breakfast at the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat - the highest hotel in the Swiss Alps! |
| 3rd day | Return to Zermatt where you might want to spend an additional night. Or return to Swiss border or airport or continue your stay in Switzerland at your own request. |
