Full description

Secure your ticket to take a trip on the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise Cable Car. Ascend to Europe's highest mountain station and travel to Trockener Steg to ride by heated cable car across the Theodul Glacier.

Start your journey at the Zermatt-Matterhorn valley station. Within 45 minutes, reach Europe’s highest mountain station at 12,740 ft (3,883 meters) above sea level - the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. First, travel in comfort in an 8-seat gondola of the Matterhorn Express on your way to Trockerner Steg. Pass lush green meadows, old Valais hamlets, and enchanting forests before the landscape changes to one with impressive moraines and stones polished by ice and glaciers.  At Trockener Steg, hop into the highest 3S cable car transporting you up to the peak. Take in spectacular views through the panoramic windows and enjoy the heated seats while crossing the Theodul Glacier. Once you reach the summit, visit the viewing platform and marvel at 38 alpine giants of the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps as well as 14 glaciers. At the cinema lounge, enjoy short movies about mountaineering, the local fauna and flora, the lift facilities, and ice and snow. Or explore the highest ice palace in the world and admire handmade sculptures in the eternal ice. Before you leave the magical fairytale behind, try regional specialties at the restaurant or purchase Matterhorn souvenirs.

Just an amazing experience❤️. With this activity you get close to sheer nature as you experience the Glacier and its enormity upclose along with ever beautiful Matterhorn and its surroundings peak. This is a different experience from the Gornegrat Train tide - Do Not Miss✌️

The experience itself was absolutely wonderful. However for the price we should’ve had a little bit more guide as to what to do once we got on top mountains. We miss the ice sculpture because we never saw a sign about it or it wasn’t in your paperwork.

The highlight of our holiday (and we were away for 15 weeks) The scenery just takes your breath away on the ride up. The view at the panoramic viewing station is equally awe inspiring and then the ice sculptures inside the ice palace are just beautiful
