Best Ways to reach Matterhorn Glacier Paradise:

Both locals and visitors are eager to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Matterhorn from various perspectives, going beyond mere admiration of the valley. Firstly, you will have to reach Zermatt, the car-free region in Switzerland. No matter where you are staying in Switzerland, use the SBB app, the most popular Swiss app for public transport, to check the routes and reach Zermatt via the impeccable Swiss transport system.

From the Zermatt rail station, you can either walk a 20-minute walk or take an electric bus to reach the gondola station.

Your trip begins at the gondola station. Remember, you have to change three gondolas to reach your final destination, i.e. Matterhorn Glacier Paradise.

The first gondola takes you to Furi at 1640 meters. While ascending, you will get to see a bird’s eye view of the Zermatt village.

The second gondola takes you from Furi to Trockener Steg at 2939 meters. The second cable car ascends over a rough, rocky alpine landscape. If you are already tired, grab something to keep you going at the Trockener Steg restaurant.

The Third and last gondola takes you from Trockener Steg to Klein Matterhorn, famously known as Matterhorn Glacier Paradise.
In this ride, you have an option to choose from various types of gondola rides. You can choose a regular gondola ride, or an older cable car, or ramp up your experience by choosing the ‘Crystal ride’, which has a glass floor that becomes transparent in 3 minutes once the ride begins. Furthermore, you can even choose a VIP gondola, breakfast gondola, or a fondue gondola. The experiences are overwhelming.

The entire journey from Zermatt rail station to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise takes more than 45 minutes.
