Gornergrat, Zermatt

With its sunny observation platform accessible all year, the Gornergrat, at an altitude of 3,089m, is one of Switzerland’s top excursion destinations since 1898. Europe’s highest open-air cog railway brings passengers direct from Zermatt station (1,620 m) to the summit of the Gornergrat, 365 days a year. The ride takes 33 minutes and requires a vertical climb of 1,469 m. The line leads over dramatic bridges, through galleries and tunnels, across forests of larch and Swiss stone pine, and past rocky ravines and mountain lakes.
