[2025 Zermatt Attraction] Travel Guide for スイス ゴルナーグラート (Updated May)

I took the Gornergrat Railway from Zermatt, Switzerland, and went to the observatory at the final stop! A very beautiful and majestic glacier spreads out before you. The weather can change quickly, so check the weather conditions with the live camera before boarding the mountain railway. Zermatt often has bad weather, so plan a few extra days in your itinerary to ensure you can sightsee on a clear day. In the worst case, it could rain for a whole week. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/eiDwFrjNGdd8CgJ56

You can hike down from the Gornergrat terminal to Zermatt, so I did it! Along the way, you can see marmots and enjoy the view of the Matterhorn, making it a very attractive scenery. It costs 63 Swiss Francs one way and 126 Swiss Francs round trip, so I recommend taking the train for the tiring uphill and walking down to save money! Haha It takes about 3 hours to walk, but I recommend it as a hike and light exercise!

Access: Get off at the last stop of the Gornergrat Railway Tourist attractions: Hiking trails with a view of the Matterhorn Gornergrat Station is home to the Gornergrat Observatory, where you can get a close-up view of one of the world's most famous mountains, the Matterhorn. If you board the train from Zermatt, you can see the Matterhorn from the right window as the train climbs. There are many ways to climb the mountain, such as getting off along the way and climbing the mountain, or riding a bike down from the top of Gornergrat, but the following route is recommended for beginners who want to enjoy the view of the Matterhorn. ・Get off at Gornergrat Station ・Trek downhill toward Lake Riffelsee ・Take a break on the shore of Lake Riffelsee and take a photo of the upside-down Matterhorn ・Go down to your favorite spot while checking the distance to the train station at the key point In the morning, there is no wind and you have a high chance of taking a photo of the upside-down Matterhorn reflected in Lake Riffelsee, so we recommend leaving early. #Matterhorn #Switzerland #Mountain climbing
