Even the journey is a great experience with a constant view of the Matterhorn. You can’t get enough of the panorama at the top – mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see.

Don’t go thru Viator
If you go buy the ticket yourself at the station it is a lot cheaper, round trip is 132 where it is 264 for two people and I pad 499. The experience is beautiful but you get the same without going thru Viator

Great way to travel up the Matterhorn!
Great trip to the mountain with little walking. Amazing views! Good for older people, families with young children and those with mobility issues.

Magnificent mountain landscape
The ride on the Gornergrat Railway is an experience in itself. Then the magnificent mountain world and the view from the Gornergrat. Of course I didn't expect mountain solitude!

Can be better
Have no idea where and when to meet. No representation near the train station. If the passenger has a Swiss half fare card the discount should be honored during booking.

Zermatt to Gornegrat Summit Train Ride and view of Matterhorn
Perfect day for trip to Gornegrat Summit offering great view of the Matterhorn. My only regret was purchasing two tickets in advance from Tripadvisor site. As this was just a round trip ticket for train ride, which runs continuously throughout the day, I found that I could have easily purchased tickets at the ticket window on day of journey and saved $200 USD. My bad, live and learn.

Well worth it!
Gornergrat was a very worthwhile experience. Ride up was very scenic. Technology to get to these high altitudes is incredible. I am almost 79 and did experience some altitude limitations. Not exactly dizziness but certainly some sense of instability walking around at the top. Took it slow and all was fine. Although in pretty good shape I was glad I had my treking pole. Unless you want to do some hiking etc the trip was easily doable in half a day.
