Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Switzerland

The Matterhorn Glacier Tour in Switzerland takes visitors on an incredible journey to the highest cable car station in Europe at 3,821 meters above sea level. The view from here is unparalleled and magnificent: the largest glacier in the Alps and no less than 38 majestic peaks in the Swiss, French and Italian Alps. Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, is within reach. It is just a stone's throw away from the Italian border, and visitors can enjoy the charming backdrop of the famous Matterhorn. At the foot of the mountain is Europe's largest ski area, open 365 days a year. The cableway is divided into three sections: the first section goes from Zermatt to Furi (1,867 meters), the second section goes from Furi to Trockener Steg (2,939 meters), and the third section continues to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise (3,883 meters). In addition, Furi has a cableway branch line to Schwarzsee (2,583 m). The ticket to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise allows you to ride all the cable cars mentioned above, so of course I won’t miss the opportunity to ride one. The scenery on the cable car is the most spectacular in the third section, not only because of its higher altitude and wider view, but also because it approaches snow-capped mountains and crosses glaciers along the way. #Overseas Travel
