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.

The Igloo village of Zermatt
Igloo late-night fondue with live music
Nestled above Zermatt at 2727 meters above sea level is the IGLU-DORF igloo village. This is truly one of the most unforgettable
experiences in the Alps: here you can overnight in a cozy Eskimo
igloo. The igloo village awaits you with romantic double suites
and 6 person igloos – one of the most unique hotels in the world
it is artistically decorated with ice sculptures. Guests can relax
with a glass of Champagne in our whirlpool while taking in the
spectacular Alpine panorama of Zermatt – a natural wonder!
Sparkling snow crystals, romantic moments and hot feelings
around the freezing point. A fondue in the igloo tastes somehow
different. Much better than elsewhere in fact. The late-night fondue in the igloo village Zermatt tastes even incomparably good.
The Gornergrat Bahn takes you every Thursday up to the igloos
in the ski area between Riffelberg and Gornergrat. Mulled wine
and live music with “The singing Icebear” go well together.
