Mount Gornergrat: Zermatt's Spectacular Summit Ticket

You took a train to Gornergrat to see the Matterhorn but couldn’t view it due to haze. Despite that, you enjoyed the experience, especially the light snowfall.

Good trip by the train, beautiful view. The top is gorgeous view, nice place and cold. The Matterhorn and mountains are white with snow. It's very good trip. Next time we will visit again.

Was a neat way to see the area. Loved being able to get on and off the train and hike the trails and eat at the restaurants. Fabulous views!

This tour gives a great view of the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountains. There is a terrace setup with benches where you can sit and marvel at the beautiful mountains or have a mini picnic with sandwiches you picked up or take photos of the picturesque views. The gornergrat railway was relaxing and offers great views on your way up and down. You also have the option to engage in partial or full hiking because they have trails from the mountains going down.

It's all about the weather, needs to be clear. Then the experience is unforgettable and well worth it. It's not a cheap experience at over 110 euros per person. But wow the views, especially the iconic Matterhorn.

It's a must to do when visiting Zermatt. With a Swiss Travel Pass, the ride costs 50% less. You can hop on and off anywhere you want. On the way back, we got off early, hiked down to the Riffelsee lake, and continued on to the next train station. It was the longest and wildest hike in my life (I don't hike much), and the most amazing and memorable.

Best views of the Matterhorn! Cold and windy up there in June, but well worth it. Enjoyed the movie and the little augmented reality paraglide. We hiked down the mountain a couple of train stops and that was well worth it. It was as if you had crashed "The Sound of Music," with the views and experience. The Zermatt side of the train has the better views, although both sides are excellent.

We were blessed with clear, sunny skies in between rainy days. I didn't compute the price difference between securing the tickets online and buying there at Zermatt. It's rather straight-forward, just to purchase the tickets --ride the train - get off, and walk free-n-easy. There's no assigned seats, and the schedule to ride is constant and reliable. Depending on your total number of days in Switzerland, perhaps it would be cost-effective to simply secure the discounted pass for transportation.

The views are amazing. Train journey very crowded. Let down by the totally insufficient facilities at the top. Giant gift shop but seating for only around 50 for any coffee or soft drinks and snacks. Expensive restaurant .

Fantastic railway line that takes you up to the best Matterhorn viewpoint.

The cogwheel railway is a fantastic piece of engineering that takes in almost 60-degree climbs on its way to the top.

While it is pricey, try and get in groups on 10 as this significantly reduces the cost, especially if you are only visiting for the day.
