The cable car up the the Klein Matterhorn is a very enjoyable journey and is you have a clear day, like we did, you can see forever. We could see mountain tops of the Alps in France, Switzerland and Italy. It was positively breathtaking. The close up view of the Matterhorn was beautiful. I would highly recommend the Klein Matterhorn... More

I went up the Klein Matterhorn which gave fantastic views. A great restaurant and excellent views of skiers. The USA ski team were practising .But Once I got past 3000m I found I had trouble walking normally. Apparently some people can get altitude sickness. I found that I just had to move very slowly and not move around too much.... More

We visited this peak with our parents and like it very much. in all we went to three peaks - Matterhorn, titlis and jungfrau. Of the three would recommend that you def visit Matterhorn and titlis. We found Zermatt to be less crowded and the peak very clean but unfortunately there were no snowtubing, etc at that time. Food options... More

If you ever get to the wonderful town of Zermatt then don't miss the chance to visit Klein Matterhorn, the mini me of the big one and next to it. You take the new Mattehorn Express cable car from Zermatt up to Trockner Steg and then the bigger gondala up to the summit. There you'll be 3,800m above sea level... More

Take about three cable cars and gondolas to the highest lift in Europe. WAY above everything. You can't believe it when you see the gondolas you are going to take, but once you are on it is just a great ride. Incredible how high up you go. At the top you can stand on a big platform for fotos, or... More

If you are in Zermatt, make sure you take half a day to take the cable car to the Klein Matterhorn. The view is gorgeous and just being able to see the Matterhorn is one of the most memorable vacation activities I have done. The Alps are beautiful and the cable car takes you to the highest cable car station... More

In Zermatt on May 13/11 and went up to the top of Klein Matterhorn. We took the three cable cars up the mountain. A fabulous experience! We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny morning with a clear view for miles and miles. Went down into the Glacier Paradise on top of the mountain! The view of the Swiss Alps... More

I visited Zermatt as part of a Tour organised by Treyn Holidays. I and other group members decided to go to the Matterhorn glacier paradise (3'883 m / 12'736 ft), the highest sightseeing point in Europe. This is a wonderful excursion. Approaching the pay booths there is a display of the several routes showing which are open. Our fee of... More
