Full description

Embark from Montreux for 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 Montreux at the end of your tour with unforgettable Alpine memories.

Kirk – CanadaMay 19, 2025 – Verified booking
What an experience! A great excursion to see the natural beauty of southeastern Switzerland. This is a long excursion - ~ 11 hours in duration. You have an option to only spend time at the end location, Zermatt, or continue up the mountain via cable cars to a summit @ ~ 3,900 metres to view nearby Matterhorn standing @ ~ 4,500 meters (14,693 feet)! The tour into the little hamlet of Zermatt. Somewhat expensive for the whole experience but well-worth it in my opinion! By-the-way, Babis, our bus driver, was excellent at giving a general history and background of many of the sites we saw along the way.

Well, everything went well but the excursion is basically the transfer. Arriving in Zermatt we have free time without supervision. We didn't go to Glacier because we forgot and there was no explanation about it. Maybe the title should be changed to transfer and not excursion
