"Spectacular mountain trips". I felt blessed, being surrounded by the grandiosity, peace and beauty of the scenery on these two trips in the Alpes. I suggest do to do the Gornergrat one day, and the Glacier Paradise on another. Dedicate time to contemplate the magnificence of nature, while having a coffee or a meal.

Buying tickets in advance was effective because we avoided the queue at the station ticket counters. The Gornergrat is a lovely place and offers a 360-degree view of all the mountains and glaciers surrounding Zermatt.

"Spectacular mountain trips". I felt blessed, being surrounded by the grandiosity, peace and beauty of the scenery on these two trips in the Alpes. I suggest do to do the Gornergrat one day, and the Glacier Paradise on another. Dedicate time to contemplate the magnificence of nature, while having a coffee or a meal.

Things to know before booking your Gornergrat Railway tickets

  • All tickets include priority boarding on the way up, granting you access 3 minutes before other passengers and the ability to choose your seat. For the best views during the ascent, we recommend selecting a seat on the right side. Note: priority boarding is not available on the way down.
  • The Gornergrat Railway makes stops at Findelbach, Riffelalp, Riffelberg, Rotenboden, and finally, the Gornergrat summit. You’re free to hop off at any station along the way. The journey takes an average of 32 minutes.

This pass was such a lifesaver! I spent 7 days traveling to Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken and Zermatt without any hassle. The freedom to board trains just like that was amazing. The panoramic train rides were also so breathtaking. Even reserving seats was super simple.
