[Scenery] Very smooth and stunning Zermatt ski resort! Highly recommended, the snow is very comfortable to step on! The equipment is also new, and the cable car is great!
[Fun] The surrounding dining and accommodation are very convenient!
The scenery is super beautiful, and the conditions are so good. It feels like there are a lot of people when you go up, but the ski resort is big enough, so people dispersed on the mountain and you can have fun as you like, and the price is not expensive.

Matterhorn is one of the iconic attractions of Switzerland. You can see the tip of the snow-capped mountain from time to time in the town of Zermatt. You can also go to the town's observation deck to admire the snow-capped mountain. You can also see the golden mountain in the sun at sunset and dusk.
To see the snow-capped mountain up close, you still have to take the gear train to Gornergrat. Generally, you start from Zermatt GBB first, then reach Gornergrat, the highest altitude, where the probability of seeing the Matterhorn is greater, and then go down one stop to Rotenboden to see the reflection, which requires higher weather conditions, and sometimes you have to wait for sunny days. After watching the reflection, you can choose to return by the original route, or continue to play one stop at a time.
It is recommended to check the weather with a local app before departure. Zermatt tickets are not cheap either. The price varies in the off-season and peak season. In early October, it is 114 euros, and the Swiss Pass can be discounted by half.
The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in the Swiss Alps, renowned for its distinctive pyramid shape and stunning beauty. The surrounding area, particularly Zermatt, provides a charming alpine village experience with a range of outdoor activities. The Gornergrat railway offers spectacular panoramic views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks.

From Zermatt GGB to Gornergrat, you need to take a cogwheel train. After using the Swiss pass to get a 50% discount, I paid 57 Swiss francs. The ticket price is for reference only. The ticket price will fluctuate during the off-season and peak season. We went there during the National Day.
The starting point is opposite the Zermatt train station. It takes 5 stops to get to Gornergrat by cogwheel train. Gornergrat is the last stop. Due to the high altitude, it is easier to see the Matterhorn. Taking reflection photos in Rotenboden requires higher weather conditions. We waited for two hours before we saw it.
Beautiful experience! It happened the railway is celebrating its 125th anniversary. Come with the ticket, it gave us complimentary access to their Zoom experience. Highly recommended for the VR experience to experience the paragliding around Matterhorn!Matterhorn view is breathtaking with the perfect view spot! Hime from Riflesee and it was worth the walk!Highly recommended activity when you are in Zermatt

the toblerone kind of shape mountain. very famous because of the shape. people do like toblerone chocolate. haha. this view was so mesmerize and kept me thinking of coming here again one fine day insha allah
When I came to Zermatt in the summer, I thought the glaciers had melted. Later I realized that I was lacking common sense. The glaciers are still there, but not as spectacular as in winter. Is it as spectacular as the pointy head of the Matterhorn?
No.

Beautiful lakeside promenade, both from Saint-Brice to the city center and from the city center to Boudry. The lake and the landscape change frequently depending on the weather and the season. The summer vacation at home was 5 days of yoga at 7 am in Jeunes Rives (city of Neuchâtel), where the setting is spectacular with hundreds of birds flying around and landing on the lake. In short, the lake reminds you of vacation, no matter where you are when traveling in the world. I'd be happy to see him again.
The most famous mountain in Zermatt is the Matterhorn, and the Sunnegga viewing platform allows you to enjoy the Matterhorn from a relatively close distance. It takes more than ten minutes to reach the viewing platform by taking the mountain cable car from the town. Sunnegga is known as a paradise-like viewing platform. You can see the Matterhorn as soon as you walk out of the platform. This is also the starting point of the Five Lakes hike.
