Tour guide very informative and helpful and understanding specially when my son suffered car sickness and how he handled the situation

Amazing day, more than expected! Babis our guide was excellent and was with us throughout the whole day. He kept us entertained, updated and in the know with all of his knowledge. I was told by another guide that guides don’t usually join you actually in the excursion as it is a long day which is understandable. However babis looked after us all day long aswell as managing the driving safely. Even back in Geneva at 9pm as we had ran slightly late due to traffic, he was still pointing out landmarks and telling us all about them. The excursion itself was absolutely excellent, the cable car option is a must do. It seems a little pricey but for how the day is structured, all of the extra transport in between that’s included and then the activities themselves it is well worth it. Free time at the end of the day in the village was lovely too. It’s a classic Swiss village.

Full description

Embark from Geneva or an unforgettable adventure along the stunning Lake Geneva to the majestic Swiss Alps. Upon arrival in Taesch, be transported to the charming village of Zermatt aboard an electric vehicle, where a breathtaking beauty experience awaits you. Admire the iconic silhouette of the Matterhorn dominating the landscape.

Nestled at 1620 meters above sea level, the picturesque village of Zermatt enchants with its proximity to 38 four-thousand-meter peaks and 14 glaciers, offering a constant fascination to its visitors.

If you take the option of the cable car, you will reach 3883 meters above sea level, the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise offers a unique sensory experience: breathtaking views, pure mountain air, and glaciers await you. Take the highest cable car in the world to access the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, where a spectacular observation platform, a unique Glacier Palace, and a cinema lounge await you. The journey begins in the comfort of an 8-seat gondola of the Matterhorn Express, traversing varied landscapes, from lush green meadows to impressive moraines sculpted by glaciers.

Once at the top, marvel at the panoramic views of 38 majestic Alpine peaks from the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps, as well as exploring the narrow streets of Zermatt, where traditional wooden and stone houses tell the village's centuries-old story. The old part of Zermatt, including Hinterdorfstrasse, is a treasure trove of architectural gems, with over 30 buildings showcasing the classic style of the early Walser settlers, reflecting the life of farmers from the past.

Explore the narrow streets during free time and admire the traditional houses built with lots of wood and stone. The old part of the village of Zermatt is located on Hinterdorfstrasse and is a true treasure trove of historical buildings. More than 30 buildings feature the classic architectural style of the early Walser settlers, including barns and attics that are up to 500 years old.

Return to your meeting point in Geneva at the end of your tour with unforgettable Alpine memories.
