Beyond the slopes: Activities to enjoy at some of the world’s best ski resorts - SilverKris

"A quaint red mountain railway that delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding alpine peaks and provides a scenic, non-skiing way to reach high-elevation viewpoints; passengers can disembark at a nearby station where an annual igloo village is reconstructed by international artists, making the ride both a visual and cultural experience." - Nicola Iseard

Definitely a must do. We opted for priority seating and we felt it worth it as our mobility is not the quickest and this allowed us to board without the scrambling for coveted seats. The weather was in our favor and we had spectacular views . Once at the top, plenty to see. We stopped on the way back and enjoyed a bite to eat and drink at one of the stops. Really a stunning excursion.

Great adventure and incredible views to Gorner and Matterhorn. The train is well maintained and have spectacular views. I recommend going early in the morning and buying ticket in advance - you can catch the train to the summit and then hike the way down (we’ve done a longer hike of 4h- it was moderate hard but so worth it)

Incredibly scenic ride to the top, best view is on the right side of train, and since everyone knows it, you have to be right at the door and get to your seat fast. We were lucky to visit on a fairly sunny day, the Matterhorn slowly unveiled itself to a full glory.

TLDR: IMO, the Matterhorn express (gondola) is better. The Gornergrat railway and associated viewing points, etc. are a decent attraction but felt a bit meh after we tried the Matterhorn express (Gondola). The only reason to consider this seriously is if you want a picture against the mountain peak or if you’re hiking along some trails. If you’re short on time and want to experience snow, the mountain peak up close, this is not the best option. Nothing against the service or the attraction itself they’re doing a good job.

Our most expensive purchase in Switzerland! Question: was it worth it? YES! The views are breathtaking. We leaned out of the windows on both sides and admired these beauties the whole way! But be careful, it can be dangerous - sometimes the train passes dangerously close to pillars and tunnel walls. Despite all the beauty, still the price is unreasonably high..

Scenic train ride to Matterhorn top. Beautiful scenery , restaurant, rest stop, toilets. Be prepared to sweat if u coming down mountain by hiking but worth the effort

If you get on the first train It’s not crowded. The train was shut down for a few hours after ours. Those of us on the first train were lucky to had the whole place to ourselves. Gorgeous weather for hiking!

Wonderful landscape. Must visit. Suggest to take the train up to the top station and gradually hike down to Riffelberg or Rifelalp station. proper hiking shoes and hiking sticks recommended. Stunning snow cap mountains view. Best to book ticket in advance.
