From Zermatt you will take 3 different cable cars to the top of the Small Matterhorn (Matterhorn Glacier Paradise). The view if just breathtaking. You will see Zermatt, the valley and many mountains culminating over 4’000 meters above the see level. If you are not used to high altitude you should keep this visit for the last day of your...

Stunning views in all directions. Go in the late morning for the best chance of clear skies. Mention if you have a rail pass or discount rail ticket for the Swiss rail network and you can save 50% on the cable car ride. The restaurant at the top serves a variety of short-order items and the prices are comparable to... More

Expensive, but worth every penny. The views are stupendous. Beware, however, that altitude sickness is a real possibility for those not used to the heights. (Think nausea, dizziness, vertigo, shortness of breath.) Try and stick it out - it's worth it. More

If you go to Glacier palace, then you will go through this cble car. With Swiss pass, this cost me around 50CHF per person, include ticket of Glacier palace. WORTH FOR THE MONEY GIVEN. The views are great, just keep your camera ready. Wear the thermocoat, sweater before boarding the cable car. More

We visited the Glacier Paradise at the top of the Matterhorn (sort of near the peak) via the cable car. Like what most trip advisor reviewers have written, the peak hour time starting from 9am plus onwards are swarmed with throngs of skiers. You will be expected to queue and squeeze with the skiers on your final cable car up... More

Great view at the Matterhorn. Try to avoid rush hour so you don't have to push into a cable car full of skiers. More

The scenery and cable car trip up i was beyond expectations. THe ice place is noy to be missed. The staff were helpful. However charging 1 CHF for hot water refill for tea was a little much. More
