#springsummergoodplace2024 #Tonghuaworldcustomizedbirthweightbear #weddingthank-yougift #firstbirthdaygift #newbornmemorialgift #handsewingwithequalweightingrams #prepareforwedding #weightbear #customized #filialpiety The Gornergrat is a mountain ridge in Switzerland. The highest point is 3,130 meters. The Gornergrat Railway runs directly from Zermatt to the Gornergrat. The Gornergrat now has a lookout, a hotel and an observatory. The observation deck is 3,089 meters above sea level. With a Swiss Travel Pass, it is half price at 66 CHF (about NT$2,000). It is a rare experience to take the cogwheel train from the flat ground to the last stop and experience the scenery from green land to ice and snow. Because of the sunshine, the temperature is about 11 degrees Celsius, which is not too cold; the snow-capped mountains and the Great Aletsch Glacier are quite magnificent, and you will marvel at the wonders of nature. Sunglasses and reflections from the snow can easily cause sunburn, so you must wear good sunscreen.

#skiadventure Gornergrat - heart of the Zermatt skiing area - can be reached from Zermatt town with a 33-minute cogwheel train ride. From here, you can have a clear view of the Matterhorn and dozens of other tall peaks (if the weather is good). The mountain panorama and the view of the Matterhorn are unforgettable. A good day trip from Zermatt if you are visiting. Will be back for some ski adventure! #mytripvlog

#skiadventure Zermatt is a ski Paradise! In winter, the snow-assured ski region offers 360 km of pistes in three varied ski areas: the Sunnegga-Rothorn, Gornergrat-Stockhorn, Schwarzsee and Matterhorn glacier paradise. Snowboarders and freestylers are able to hone their skills in the Snowpark Zermatt in which Olympic hopefuls also train. A crossover to the Italian ski region of Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche is possible from the Matterhorn glacier paradise / Theodulpass. Those in search of something different can try their hand at paragliding or off-piste heli-skiing accompanied by an experienced mountain guide.

On the left hand side of the railway station out of zematt is there to take the mountain cable car, the drive is about 25 minutes, to the observation deck, the peak in front of me immediately fascinated, really magnificent, stunning, that the power of nature is really amazing! And just a light tap with your phone is enough to take what looks like a fake photo! The blessing is that we can have a view of the top view of the Madara Peak. There is also a church on the hill, a small spot down the church with a small amount of stone built up high, and every year a climber or skier stays here forever because he underestimates the forces of nature too much. There is an old saying: Don't deceive the mountains, don't deceive the water, but regardless of the mountains or the ocean, we must respect nature and love the beautiful scenery that nature has given us to the world. I think our land must have a sense of awe towards nature! And the sky and the sea of ​​clouds seemed to be palpable, I realized it was really hard to stabilize other places except Lhasa that could be like that. The next morning the weather was clear to see the sun rising, the sun was rocky enough to shine on the Madaram Peak, appearing a golden peak! The first picture on the cover shows the rising sun hitting the peaks

Everyone does know of chocolate called Tobolone. The picture in the package of this chocolate is the matterhorn. no one will bot see this picture before. This place is a quite small town with homey feeling of nice people. The restaurant was very homey called stadel restaurant. The matterhorn is so very beautiful. It is very depend on the weather of that day. If the weather is nice and the cloud is not very cloudy, you will see Matterhorn with the clear picture. one time in the life should be here. It so beautiful and so speechless. The weather was about minus ten but it very fun over there. It will be the place that you would like to come back again

Went up to Gornergrat Bahn with CHF88 since we have the Swiss Pass. The view was definitely breathtaking. We were amazed by Switzerland nature. We spent about 4 hours just to appreciate the scenery. Yes, it’s very cold so be prepared to wear thick clothes, heat-tech and gloves. Best if you have a pair of snow shoes to prevent you from falling. You can also get to see the black face sheep if you are lucky. #switzerland #switzerlandphotos #fallingforfall #gornergrat #matterhorn

So there are 2 popular mountains that many tourists will visit, one is the Jungfraujoch which is the tallest mountain in Europe and another is the matterhorn where the top of the mountain has a horned shaped look. Also, there are 2 locations to view the mighty gorgeously beautiful matterhorn, where I believe the best view point is from Gornergrat itself as this place has an unobstructed view of the peak from afar. Also, gornergrat zermatt itself is already located at a very high elevation of more than 3000metres in altitude, making this one literally breathtaking view! haha! #fallingforfall #scenic #europe #gorgeous #matterhorn #attractions #nature #mountains

Gornergrat Observatory in Switzerland, where you can see the Matterhorn I went there on a refreshing vacation in July, one day during Marine Day. You can get to this place by Gornergrat Railway. I think the Swiss railway culture is amazing. Also, my cell phone worked here, and I even got a work call from Japan. lol There is still snow on the mountains and Gornergrat Glacier, and I am grateful to be able to see this vast natural scenery by train. #snowscape #breathtakingview

#tripaway What an amazing views on the Swiss alps. We went in the afternoon, it was nice and quit and the sky was more clear then in the morning, from the top we walked to the riffelsee, and took the train back from there to Zermatt. Fantastic experience #tripaway

From the train station, I came to the viewing platform, and the scenery of Matterhorn in front of us suddenly fascinated us. Although the sky is not as clear as I hoped, the clouds cover the triangle of Matterhorn, but we can see the whole piece of mountain snow and the sky, just like a postcard! It's really exaggerated in Switzerland, and all these beautiful views are very easy and will make you feel very unreal. Next to the observation deck, we also found a classical and intimate chapel. Walking inside, you can immediately feel a sacred atmosphere on the head. I think it must be something to remind me. In fact, the chapel on this mountain was originally built for people who had been struggling to climb the Matterhorn all over the world. Now, just as we go to the beach to make the soul feel free, facing the mountain, we are to face it with a very awesome heart. Going up the path, there is a 360-degree viewing platform. It is amazing to see this full circle of scenery. How can there be such a beautiful place! The sky is so close, it is in my arms.

The charm of Zermatt lies in the perfect blend of the steepness of the Alps with the gentleness of the lake. Whether it’s paragliding soaring into the sky or a leisurely picnic by the lake, you can find your own Swiss memory here. 💗 Must-visit attraction recommendation - Matterhorn As an iconic peak of the Alps, the pyramid-shaped mountain body shines with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and the “Sunshine Golden Mountain” at sunrise and sunset is even more stunning. It is recommended to take the Gornergrat Bahn to the observation deck at 3089 meters above sea level, with a 360° overlook of 29 peaks above 4000 meters above sea level. For classic reflections, you can get off at Rotenboden station and hike to Riffelsee, where there may still be thin ice in May. - Matterhorn Glacier Paradise The highest cable car station in Europe (3883 meters above sea level) with up-close views of the Matterhorn and Teodor glacier. The ice palace, 15 meters underground, showcases fantastic ice sculpture art, and you can also experience alpine skiing in the summer. From the observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and glaciers in Italy, and on a clear day you can even see Mont Blanc in France. - Five Lakes Walk From Blauherd, it passes through five alpine lakes including Stellisee and Grindjisee, each reflecting a different posture of the Matterhorn. It is recommended to wear waterproof hiking shoes as wildflowers bloom along the way in May. There may be residual snow on some sections. The whole journey is about 9 kilometers and takes 3-4 hours, and at the end Sunnegga can be returned to the town by cable car. - Zermatt Parish Church The town’s tallest building, with green spires set against the Matterhorn. The cemetery opposite the church houses pioneers who climbed the Matterhorn encounter, and concerts are often held in the Summer Square. Climb the church tower to overlook the fairytale view of the small town’s red-roofed wooden houses intertwined with the snow-capped mountains. - Gonagrat Golden Photography Spot The observation deck, added in 2023, has a visual impact with the century-old golden locomotive as the background. The nearby Swiss Tour Photo Frame is also a photo hotspot, suitable for commemorative photos. ♂️ Immersive gaming experience - High-altitude adventure: Take the cable car from the Furi cable car station to Schwarzsee and experience the longest forest rope climbing park in Switzerland, or hike to Zermatt-Matterhorn ski resort (some trails open in May) for summer skiing. - Glacier Exploration: Join a professional guide-led glacier hike deep into the Gornergletscher to observe ice crevasses and ice caves up close. Equipment is required to be booked in advance, and warm clothing is recommended for lower temperatures in May. - Cultural Explorations: Visit the Matterhorn Museum to learn about mountaineering history and glacier formation, and zipline rides through the pine forest at Zermatt Forest Fun, for parents and families. 🍳Alpine flavor on the tip of the tongue - Cheese Fondue Recommend Chez Vrony restaurant, a century-old restaurant known for its homemade cheese and air-dried beef, with a wooden décor that’s full of Alpine flair. Paired with pickles and roasted potatoes, the rich cheese aroma is classic with local white wine. - Air-dried beef (Bündnerfleisch) Zermatt’s specialty cold plates are firm and smoky. Vacuum-packed finished products can be purchased at small-town butchers or sampled freshly cut with rye bread at Restaurant Al Bosco. - Lake fish cuisine Fresh trout from Lake Geneva are not to be missed. We recommend the pan-fried lake fish from Edelweiss restaurant, served with lemon juice and butter. The restaurant’s terrace overlooks the Matterhorn and advance reservations are recommended. - Swiss French fries (Rösti) The street cart’s golden hash browns are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with sausage and sour cream for a carbohydrate-happy pull. Recommended with a glass of local craft beer for a taste of the Swiss countryside. - Chocolate and pastries The hazelnut honey cake from century-old store Heini is smooth and the Luxembourg chocolate from Confiserie Sprüngli melts in your mouth. In the afternoon, enjoy macarons and coffee at the Café du Center and enjoy the town street view. 📌 Practical tips - Transportation: Zermatt is a car-free town and requires a gear train transfer from Tasch station to access. The Swiss Travel Pass is recommended, which covers the cost of the Gonagrat train and cable car, with a separate Glacier Express seat reservation fee (from CHF 29 in the off-season). - Best season: May temperatures 5-15°C, occasional showers, windbreaker and warm clothing required. There are fewer tourists at this time, and glaciers and wildflowers are in the same frame, suitable for photography and hiking. - Photo Spots: Golden Photography Spot in Gonagrat, Lake Liffel Reflection, and Lake Stelly on the Five Lakes Trail are all sanctuaries for filming. - Safety Tip: Some hiking routes still have snow accumulation in May, wear crampons and follow signs. Glacier hiking requires the employment of professional guides to avoid venturing alone.

#cityplaybook #localguides #familytrip #postandearn Zermatt is where mountain dreams come alive. Nestled in the Swiss Alps and crowned by the iconic Matterhorn, this car-free mountain village offered one of the most breathtaking travel experiences I’ve ever had. Every moment felt cinematic—pure, crisp air, snow-dusted peaks, and that unforgettable silhouette of the Matterhorn piercing the sky. What struck me most was the tranquility. With no cars allowed in town, the only sounds are the quiet hum of electric taxis, the laughter of hikers, and the distant chiming of cowbells. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into a peaceful alpine sanctuary. One of the highlights was the Gornergrat Railway—Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel train. The ride to the summit offered jaw-dropping views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks. At the top, I stood in awe of a 360-degree panorama that made me feel both small and infinite. Zermatt isn’t just for winter lovers (though skiing here is legendary). In summer, I hiked flower-lined trails through alpine meadows, across hanging bridges, and beside turquoise glacial lakes. The Five Lakes Walk was particularly magical, each lake reflecting the Matterhorn like a mirror. The village itself is charming and upscale. Cozy chalets, gourmet fondue restaurants, and Swiss chocolate shops line the narrow streets. I also visited the Matterhorn Museum, which offers fascinating insight into the area’s mountaineering history. Best Time to Visit: December to March for world-class skiing and snowy landscapes. June to September for hiking, mountain biking, and clear Matterhorn views. Travel Tips: Stay in a chalet with a Matterhorn view—it’s worth it. Take the Sunnegga funicular for great trails and family activities. Try Raclette and Valais wine—local delights that warm the soul.

When it comes to traveling to Switzerland, most people’s focus must be on the Jungfraujoch, and I am no exception! On the contrary, I decided to add Zermatt and the Gornergrat viewing platform to my itinerary only a few weeks before departure... I feel very lucky because I almost missed this unforgettable attraction! Zermatt is a car-free town that attaches great importance to environmental protection. The only local means of transportation are electric cars and horse-drawn carriages. As soon as I left the train station, the first thing I saw was an electric taxi, and then I saw the Gornergrat Railway ticket office which was very close to the train station. We bought tickets on site using the ticket machine, which was very easy to use and we could pay with a credit card. It was around 9:30 in the morning and the mountain was already crowded with citizens preparing to go skiing. Although it was already spring in April, there was still thick snow on the mountain. Moreover, the weather was nice today. It was the best day since I came to Switzerland. The locals also took advantage of the weather to enjoy their vacation! I didn’t do any research before setting off, I just knew that I could see the Matterhorn and Switzerland’s highest mountain – Dufourspitze – from the Gornergrat viewing platform. When I stepped into the carriage with excitement, I suddenly heard a familiar language! A Chinese uncle said to his family: "You must sit on the right side to see the Matterhorn!" Hahahaha! Thank you so much for your information uncle! We immediately took seats on the right side, and during the 33-minute ascent, we didn’t even rest our eyes! From the foot of the mountain, to the mountainside, to the final station, every place is a beautiful sight. As the train travels to different levels, you can appreciate the Matterhorn from different angles! [Some tips for first-time visitors] 1) There are lockers at Zermatt station where you can store your luggage! If you are moving to Zermatt from another city with luggage and will not be staying here that night (for example, our itinerary was to go to the Gornergrat observation deck and then go straight to Zurich), you may need to find a place to temporarily store your luggage like we did. There is a locker down the stairs on the right side of Zermatt Station. It is very easy to use. First, put your luggage in the locker, and then pay with a credit card at the machine nearby. 2) The observation deck is located at an altitude of about 3,130 meters. The possibility of causing altitude sickness is not too high, but it is recommended to walk slowly after reaching the mountain to give the body time to adapt to the high mountain area. In addition, it is highly recommended to wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen lotion, because the snow reflects sunlight and the ultraviolet rays on the mountain are quite strong, which can easily cause sunburn and damage to the eyes. 📍Gornergrat railway station Address: Bahnhofpl. 1, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The highlight of the trip to Switzerland was staying in the small town of Zermatt just to see the king of the Alps #Matterhorn. At an altitude of 4,478 meters, the pyramid's giant peak towers into the sky, and its unique triangular cone shape has become the representative of the Alps. Whenever the morning sun sets, the snow-capped mountains reflect a metallic glow, and the sun shines on the golden mountains, which is extremely shocking. If you want to get closer to the Matterhorn, in addition to the most popular way of taking the mountain train, you can also take the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise Cable Car from the far right, or start from the Five Lakes Hiking Trail on the left. Whether from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise or from the Gornerath Observation Deck, you can see the Matterhorn in different styles. The pure white snow and the endless peaks are truly mesmerizing! #SwissTravel #Matterhorn
