Sales Manual 2014 Gornergrat Bahn Version July 2013 1 If you want to discover the dazzling beauty of the Alps, you’ll soon realise that the trip to Gornergrat is a “mustsee” excursion. Its sunny viewing platform, accessible all year, makes the Gornergrat ridge a top destination, and not just because of its altitude. Surrounded by 29 peaks rising to above 4000 m and by Switzerland’s greatest mountain and second biggest glacier in the Alps, it offers a spectacular mountain panorama second to none. And the “Matterhorn Railway” renders it so close you can almost touch it. For more than 115 years the Gornergrat Bahn has been making the ascent to the panoramic mountain a truly unique and wonderful experience. From Zermatt, the popular holiday resort in the Valais, Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel railway departs daily every 24 minutes, climbing to the Gornergrat 9.339 km away. The train crosses impressive bridges, galleries and tunnels. In the midst of idyllic forests and alpine meadows, past rocky gorges and tarns. Accompanied by the majestic mountains, first and foremost by the Matterhorn. 1 Euro = CHF 1.30 (Daily exchange rate applies) All prices in CHF, include 8% VAT.
