Experience a world of adventure and marvel at the natural wonder that is the Swiss Alps from Europe’s highest aerial cable car and summit station 3,883 metres above the ground. To get to the summit from Zermatt, visitors enjoy a series of spectacular gondola rides that provide stunning, one-of-a-kind views of the awe-inspiring “Toblerone mountain” (the Matterhorn) to the west, and the majestic Breithorn to the east. A fascinating audio system with information about the history of Zermatt and alpine tourism is provided on the gondola ride to the summit.

At Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, visitors can take the summit lift to the Panoramic viewing platform, situated at an impressive, lofty height of over 4,000-metres, to enjoy a breath-taking 360-degree view of 14 glaciers and 38 alpine giants. Be sure to check out the fascinating crucifixion display at the Glacier Paradise Observatory, which stands in stark contrast against the majesty of the surrounding natural landscape. On clear days, the magnificent vistas stretch as far as the eye can see, to the majestic Mont Blanc mountain in France, the Gran Paradiso in Italy, and even Jungfrau, in all her radiant splendour.

Skiing enthusiasts will enjoy the international ski area at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, home to Europe’s largest summer ski area open all 365 days of the year. Fancy trying other winter sports? Then engage in some exhilarating snowtubing at the Glacier Paradise, or embark on an invigorating hike to scale the Breithorn giant, accompanied by experienced mountain guides, of course. Visitors should also not miss the stunning glacier palace “Matterhorn Glacier Cave” and marvel at the icy treasures within for an unforgettable experience at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise.
