Purchasing through Klook gave us a 5% discount, and we received the voucher promptly. There was no need to exchange it for a physical ticket; we simply scanned the QR code to enter, which was very convenient. We visited Zermatt in mid-June and had fantastic weather. From the Gornergrat observation deck, we could see the Matterhorn and the glacier up close. On our way back, we hiked directly to Riffelhorn, where we enjoyed lunch from a high vantage point, gazing at the Matterhorn and Lake Riffelsee. After taking photos, we continued to the next stop, Riffelberg (but remember to take the longer path for the best experience). The scenery along this route is beautiful, and hiking with the Matterhorn in view the whole time was incredibly enjoyable. It's an even better and more scenic walk than hiking from the observation deck to Lake Riffelsee. Therefore, I highly recommend hiking down two stops from the Gornergrat observation deck. However, when visiting the Swiss mountains, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket and waterproof hiking shoes.
The ride up to the Matterhorn was amazing. Too bad when we were up there, it was having a snow storm so we did not see the Matterhorn at the top. But the ride was very pleasant and we enjoyed its a lot.
smooth process, just screenshot the qr code sent by klook, and then upon arrival at the railway station, redeem at the machine, the official ticket will come out. Scan the ticket when you go in or out from each stop. It is not really a priority pass, as when the train comes, everyone will just go in. Official price is CHF 66 with swiss travel pass. But klook is much cheaper with discount voucher
This is super worth to get it! simply purchase and you get a QR code which you can scan at the ticketing machine and get a physical ticket to enter! Especially so you are in the priority zone so you get to board the train first!
The ride up offered stunning scenery — the views along the way were absolutely beautiful! 🚠🏔️ Unfortunately, it was quite cloudy by the time we reached the top, so we missed out on the full panorama. If you can, aim for a morning slot when the skies are clearer for the best experience. Still, a great trip overall with amazing landscapes on the way up!
Gornergrat Railway is located just opposite the Zermatt train station. Do exchange for the physical ticket at the ticketing kiosk using the klook QR code. You will need the physical ticket to scan at the turnstile to enter the station. Headed straight to the topmost station which is Gornergrat. There’s an indoor exhibition at Gornergrat which is free for those with the physical railway ticket. It is called ZOOOM the Matterhorn @Gornergrat. On the way down, can also dropped off at the stations Rotenboden and Riffelberg for more nice view of the matterhorn.
One of the very best way to see snow mountains, klook experience of buying this ticket is extremely good. it was perfect with priority ticket and everything was so easy. must thing to do when in Swiss
I recently booked the Gornergrat Express train ride through Klook, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. The booking process on Klook was quick and easy, and I received my e-ticket instantly, which made the whole trip stress-free. The Gornergrat Express itself is a marvel. The scenic journey from Zermatt to the Gornergrat summit is nothing short of breathtaking. The panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, including the iconic Matterhorn, are simply spectacular. The train ride is comfortable, and the large windows allow you to soak in every bit of the stunning scenery. Once at the summit, the views are even more incredible. The 360-degree panorama of glaciers, snow-capped peaks, and alpine landscapes is awe-inspiring. There are plenty of photo opportunities, and the observation deck is perfect for taking it all in. The on-site facilities, including the restaurant and shop, are great additions to the experience. Klook’s service was excellent, and I highly recommend booking through them for a hassle-free adventure. The Gornergrat Express is a must-do when visiting Zermatt, and I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you, Klook, for making this dream trip a reality! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Guide

Enjoy prime Matterhorn views from 3,131 m, capture the iconic reflection photo spot with a short walk, ride the scenic alpine train to Gornergrat, explore the Zooom multimedia experience, and shop for souvenirs high above Zermatt while admiring 29 surrounding four-thousanders.

Begin your journey in the charming alpine village of Zermatt and board the historic Gornergrat Bahn. This iconic cogwheel railway climbs to 3,100 meters, passing forests, bridges, tunnels, and alpine lakes as the Matterhorn gradually comes into view. With each turn, the scenery becomes more dramatic until you reach the summit, where a breathtaking panorama of snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and rugged cliffs awaits. From the Gornergrat, enjoy one of the most impressive views of the Swiss Alps and the legendary Matterhorn.
