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

Located at the foot of the Alps in southern Switzerland, Zermatt is a high mountain resort that attracts travelers from all over the world. The reason for this is the overwhelming presence of the Matterhorn (4,478m above sea level). This famous mountain, which changes with the seasons, is the center of a beautiful town where nature and people live in harmony. 🏞️1. [Gornergrat Observatory] A panoramic world that you must see at least once in your life The Gornergrat Observatory, at an altitude of 3,089m, is a spectacular view point that overlooks not only the Matterhorn but also 29 4,000m-class peaks, including Monte Rosa and the Gorner Glacier. The journey from Zermatt to the mountain railway takes about 30 minutes, and the magnificent scenery continues, making it truly a "journey itself is the destination". The sunrise and sunset times are especially impressive. You will never forget the golden Matterhorn in the clear air. 🚶2. [Hiking Paradise] A natural trail that can be enjoyed by beginners and advanced hikers Zermatt is a treasure trove of hiking trails. The most popular trail is the one to **Riffelsee**. It is famous as a spectacular spot where the Matterhorn is reflected upside down on the lake surface. If you have more energy, we also recommend the **5-Seenweg** course. You can enjoy the nature of the Alps while viewing the Matterhorn from various angles. 🧀3. [A car-free town, your five senses are in harmony] Enjoy the leisurely flow of time Zermatt is a clean town where gasoline-powered vehicles are prohibited. Church bells and bird songs echo in the silence, the air and water are clear, and just walking will calm your mind. The town is dotted with cafes and restaurants full of the alpine atmosphere. Recommended restaurants: •Restaurant Schäferstube: A popular restaurant where you can enjoy traditional Swiss dishes such as raclette and fondue. •Chez Vrony: A restaurant with a spectacular view at an altitude of 2,100m. Reservations are required for this famous restaurant. 📍Zermatt is not just a mountain resort. It is a place for "mental detox" that gives you time to breathe with nature and reflect on yourself. You should go there at least once in your life🏃♂️🏔️🚞 #World's most spectacular views #European travel #Switzerland #Zermatt #World's most spectacular views #Mountain climbing #Hiking #Trip

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
