Winter magic
The mountain of the mountains is calling!
The Matterhorn from every angle. The Zermatt Alpine landscape has magic powers, and we have exciting ideas – for an eventful day or a wonderful evening. Do you want even more mountain? Stay at the Riffelhaus, facing the Matterhorn.
The Gornergrat Gourmet Ticket combines an experience in the great outdoors with culinary delights. Experience the idyllic winter hiking trails, the highest sledding run in Switzerland and a gourmet menu featuring Valais specialities.
Anyone looking for out-of-the-ordinary excursion destinations in Switzerland will find them on the Gornergrat. From your vantage point at the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat, you can experience the Matterhorn plus 28 other peaks soaring over 4000 metres in height in the silvery moonlight, and enjoy a savoury cheese fondue at the same time.
Whether it is a romantic dinner or an evening excursion with the family on the Gornergrat, when you choose ‘Dining with the Stars’, you will enjoy a star gazing tour followed by an all-you-can-eat Chinese fondue. Be prepared for a mystical experience that will never fit on a postcard.
Arrival: Since 1898, Europe’s highest open-air rack-and-pinion railway has been making its ascent from Zermatt to Gornergrat. The journey passes through deep gorges and rich green Swiss pine forests. Guests will reach the Riffelberg station in just 23 minutes. From here, a short footpath leads to the mountain hotel Riffelhaus 1853.
Overnight stays: Treat yourself to a wonderful relaxing stay in the mountains. Stay the night.
