Zermatt and the Matterhorn
Departing Lake Maggiore we head towards the Ossola Valley and wind our way gracefully up towards the Alps and onwards to the famous Simplon Pass. At the highest point of the Pass, the Belvedere View Point, there are unbeatable 360° panoramic views of the Swiss and Italian Alps. After descending the Swiss side of the Simplon Pass we arrive and Brig before travelling along the Matter Valley and further into the heart of the Alps.
At Taesch we will take you aboard the rack and pinion railway up to Zermatt itself. Situated at 5,315ft above sea level, Zermatt is surrounded by some of the most famous peaks in the Alps: the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, the Gornergrat and no less than twelve peaks over 4,000m.
Zermatt is the most picturesque of the Alpine villages and is completely pedestrianised. Experience a journey up into the mountains on the Sunnegga Mountain Metro*, take a stroll around the village, visit the Zermatlantis Museum and enjoy a taste of some local Swiss food: rösti, fondue or raclette!. Whatever you choose to do, you'll be able to take in views of the iconic Matterhorn mountain.
