Highlights
Introducing the 'Matterhorn Glacier Paradise,' the most spectacular and up-close way to encounter the king of the Alps, the Matterhorn.
Your journey to the highest mountain station in Europe, at an altitude of 3,883m, begins amidst the lush green meadows and dense forests of Zermatt. As you ascend by cable car, the scenery outside your window transforms into a magnificent panorama of colossal glaciers and rugged mountains sculpted by time. Relax in the comfortable seats of our state-of-the-art cable car and experience a miraculous moment as you travel to a world above the clouds. Standing at the summit, guarded by the Matterhorn and 38 other high alpine peaks, you'll be met with an overwhelming sense of awe inspired by nature. More than just a journey, this extraordinary expedition through the heart of the Alps will perfectly complete your Swiss adventure.
Program
Encounter the Pure White Panorama of the Alps, Closest to the Sky
Leaving behind the vibrant energy of Zermatt village, you board the cable car. Below, wildflower-strewn fields unfold, while above, the majestic presence of colossal snow-capped mountains creates a dramatic narrative. As the altitude increases, the air becomes cooler and clearer, and the blue hues of the Theodul Glacier vividly unfold before your eyes. This is not merely a journey to a high altitude, but an immersive exploration where you can directly feel and experience the breath of glaciers that hold millennia of history. Enjoy a warm cup of tea at a restaurant situated above the clouds, or wander across the eternal snows to quiet the clamor of daily life. It's time to listen to the quiet yet grand voice of nature, spoken from the innermost heart of the Matterhorn.
