Ever wondered what it feels like to ride a train to the top of the Alps? This tour takes you on two of Zermatt's most iconic journeys in a single day.

The morning starts on the Gornergrat Railway, a historic mountain train running since 1898. It climbs from Zermatt town centre up to 3,089m while the Matterhorn gradually fills the window beside you. Your guide covers the history of the railway along the way. At the top, 29 peaks above 4,000m surround you on all sides, including Switzerland's highest mountain, the Dufourspitze. The Gorner Glacier stretches out below, one of the largest in the Alps.

The afternoon takes you up even higher. A cable car ride to Klein Matterhorn at 3,883m offers unobstructed views across 14 glaciers in three countries through fully glazed gondolas. A summit lift then brings you to a 360-degree viewing platform overlooking 38 Alpine peaks. Before heading down, step inside the Glacier Palace, tunnels hand-carved into the ice that stay at minus 2 degrees year-round. Pack a warm layer even in summer.
