Things to do in Gornergrat Railway

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.

Easily to redeem at the machine and great experience for the trip..

Pre-booked tickets are easy to use; simply scan them at the ticket reader at the Matterhorn mountain railway entrance. It saves time and is very cost-effective.

remember to sit on the right for best view.

One of the highlights was simply slowing down—taking in the crisp mountain air, enjoying scenic viewpoints, and appreciating how peaceful and awe-inspiring nature can be. Whether viewed from the village, the trails, or the higher viewpoints, the Matterhorn constantly reminded me of how small we are compared to the beauty of the world. This trip was not just a vacation, but a moment of reflection and gratitude. The Matterhorn left me inspired, refreshed, and full of unforgettable memories—an experience I will truly cherish and hope to relive someday.

The Gornergrat train ride was a magical experience, offering stunning panoramic views throughout the journey. Watching the scenery unfold as you travel makes it truly unforgettable. Also, if you do have a Swiss Travel Pass you’ll get a discount for the train ticket 😉

truly amazing sights. we experienced snow at the top.

First, you need to exchange your ticket on-site. Introverted people can use the self-service ticket machine to scan the QR code for redemption. It also includes priority boarding, so you basically won't have to queue. Trains depart every thirty minutes. As you gradually ascend from the plains towards the mountains, the scenery changes accordingly. I truly admire the construction technology of the Swiss. Although there were too many clouds that afternoon to take a picture with the Matterhorn, the surrounding snowy mountain scenery was still very impressive.
