Gornergrat is a popular route in Zermatt, with a mountain train running every 20 minutes, indicating a large number of tourists. The internet is flooded with photos taken from the same spots and angles. Besides visiting the observation deck, I find it enjoyable to have a coffee outdoors. Below the Gornergrat observation deck, there's an artificial reservoir that's a popular photo spot. The next stop, Rotenboden, has two naturally formed meltwater pools, known for the reflection of the Matterhorn. To capture a beautiful reflection, you need to go early when the weather is good and there's no wind. Once the wind picks up or clouds roll in during the afternoon, the reflection becomes impossible to capture. However, I am fascinated by the mid-slope of Riffelhorn, right next to the glacier cliff, offering a breathtaking view of the glacier. Or at the foot of the Matterhorn, where the glacier trail begins, there's a meltwater lake reflecting the black Matterhorn. I really don't want to queue up with the crowd and follow the trend of taking Instagram-worthy photos, especially since it's not suitable for a man in his sixties.

Zermatt, the glacier paradise, is a must-visit destination for travelers and one of Switzerland's iconic landmarks. Taking the cable car up the mountain, the Matterhorn appears right before your eyes, majestic and spectacular. The weather turned overcast, completely covering its grandeur. As the cable car ascends towards an altitude of 3883 meters, the sight of the perpetual ice is truly astonishing. Upon reaching the highest point, the temperature is -1, with strong chilling winds. Finally, at the station before the last, take in the beauty of the small village, which is incredibly worthwhile.

#springsummergoodplace2024 #zermatt #zermattaccommodation #zermattnightview Zermatt, also translated as Zermatt (German: Zermatt, Italian: Zermatt, French: Praborgne), is a predominantly German-speaking and Catholic town located on the northern foot of the Matterhorn in the Valais region of Switzerland, about 15 km from Italy. The border is about 10 kilometers. Zermatt is a world-famous ski resort and the terminus of Switzerland's famous Glacier Express. #SwissAttractions #Matterhorn

Among the Swiss, the one that is particularly memorable is Zerumattuu! < I called it this way 🫣 #Zermatt The mountain lodge I stayed at on the first day was so good, so I think it was even more memorable. Accommodation is so important to me during a trip. Even if I just sleep, it's important. It affects the day and the next day's trip! 📍Alpenlodge Zer Bännu 22, 3920 Zermatt, Switzerland ▫️A picture taken from the terrace in the room! ▫️As soon as you enter the entrance, there is a space where you can eat breakfast, and it looks like a picture frame..♥ ▫️The room feels. It's woody! ▫️Couple shot on the terrace hehe ▫️Zermatt neighborhood atmosphere ▫️Breakfast ▫️View from the window while eating breakfast ▫️Start morning jogging! ⛰️🏞🪂🚡🌋⛰️🏔🗻🌋🗻🌋⛰️ Breakfast was just my style,,,,,, And the coffee was so delicious,,,,, The weather was really bad in many ways, But I really enjoyed Zermatt😌 They say the mountain lodges are disappearingㅠㅠ If you have a trip to Switzerland, be sure to save it here and go there ㅠㅠ #SwissTravel

#winhkflight #gornergrat #switzerland Even though is cloudy day, I still enjoy my trip to Gornergrat. It would be better if the weather is clear, you will get to enjoy the spectacular view of Matterhorn. Gornergrat is surrounded by almost 29 peaks. Gornergrat Bahn is reachable with the Gornergrat Railway. The pricing of the railway is vary depending on the route and season. With a Swiss Travel Pass, you will get to enjoy a 50% discount. It is recommended to wear water proof shoes. They also offer plenty of activities such as hiking, sledding, skiing, mountain biking and more. You may check their website for more information. I want to travel to Hong Kong for a different culture and experience.

Matterhorn, standing at 4,478 meters, is one of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps and a symbol of pride for Switzerland. Sunnegga, at an altitude of 2,300 meters, offers the best perspective to admire Matterhorn. Its surroundings are dotted with lakes, flowers, meadows, and numerous hiking trails pass through the area. The 'Five Lakes Walk', which can be completed in two to three hours, is one of the trails with lower difficulty but exceptionally beautiful scenery.

I sat on the edge of a cliff and sent it to my mom, she was so scared, and I listened to her nagging for 20 minutes,,,, I'll be careful,,,,♥ Safe travel anytime, anywhere, everyone! In Zermatt, the sky,,, more than half of the weather is important, and I totally agree with that. Rather than just being too clear, the sky with clouds like this is a work of art. 📍Zermatt - Switzerland 🧭Summer of last August 🕒2:50 PM Please share this with people you want to go with☺ #SwissTravel #FallInLoveWithSwitzerland #Zermatt #zermatt #switzerland🇨🇭

⛰️Hiking is absolutely essential in Zermatt. For the "Five Lakes Hiking Route" we chose the most famous Gornergrat. In order to make it easier to go down the mountain from 3100 kulmhotel, I only brought a simple backpack when I checked in, and my large luggage was stored at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. But even so, we almost cried when we were in our prime. ⛰️I woke up early to watch the sunrise, watching the Matterhorn peak gradually turn into egg yolk red. I took photos again and again of this Lindt chocolate, and felt the joy of booking a reservation again. Thank God for the blessing. The mountainous area illuminated by the big sun was so beautiful. The two of them danced and followed the master in front of them towards the Matterhorn. It only took half an hour to take pictures of the reflection on the lake in Riffelberg. It was so beautiful that they sat there in a daze for a long time. Time should be wasted on beautiful things❤️ ⛰️The scenery in the Zermatt Mountains is no longer magnificent to describe. The feeling of time standing still can only be experienced by yourself. Such beautiful photos are the result of a broken leg, please take a look and cherish them🌹 #gornergrat #matterhorn

⛷️Zermatt is located at the foot of the Matterhorn. It is one of the most famous resorts and ski resorts in the world. The three main ski areas are 1) Sunnegga-Rothorn, 2) Gornergrat-Stockhorn-Schwarzsee, and 3) Matterhorn glacier paradise, a total of 54 ropeways and cable cars, with a ski trail length of more than 360 kilometers ⛷️The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise is the largest and highest summer ski area in the world. Ski teams from many countries receive summer training here. One day in Zermatt is not enough. You usually buy a three-day pass, which includes tickets for the cable car and attractions. Tourists live at the foot of the mountain and then take the cable car up the mountain. The Glacier Paradise route also includes the Ice Palace. The snow here is really soft. People who like skiing will probably go crazy with joy❤️ ⛷️If you are not skiing, you can roll around in the snow, or simply swim breaststroke. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a little silly and very eye-catching. We finished the visit in about two hours. Many people chose to walk all the way down the mountain. ⛷️You must exercise well before coming to Zermatt. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but your legs will indeed break. One day I almost cried while walking🥀 #zermatt #ski

##fallishere Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountain in the world where eveyrone can find it in the classic toblerone chocolate packaging. Located at around 4K m above sea level. It’s a famous for the view and jetski. The season to be there depends on the activities you wish to do or scenery you can never imagine of. Accommodation are fairly expensive and hotels are often full. Therefore plan earlier and move faster. Price ticket. Rm1000-2000 #awesomepic #couplestrip

Scenery: Beautiful experience! Special event: It happened the railway is celebrating its 125th anniversary. Come with the ticket, it gave us complimentary access to their Zoom experience.

Hike from Riflesee and it was worth the walk!Highly recommended activity when you are in Zermatt

Falling in Luv❤️ with all the view here... Gornegrat,Zermatt @Switzerland A 2 days trip to Gornergrat by driving all the way from Germany is Superb 🥰👍 around 4'000 meters altitude is a must visit for Zermatt visitors. Enjoy the natural view and falling in love with the view❤️ The views are spectacular, both of the Matterhorn and other mountain peaks. The ride in the cogwheel railway is an interesting experience in and by itself, with several stops during the 35 minute journey. Roadtrip 🚙💨 - Park at Matterhorn station for 2 days @CHF36 -Train to Zermatt @ CHF8.50/adult/oneway Be carefull: if u are travel by car please use road to Zerrmat by day time avoid night driving.It was so scary on night time driving with no road light and the road was so small with lots of scary corner..😨😥 #CelebrateWithTrip #spooktaculartrip #mytripvlog #fallingforfall #tripblazers #mountainview #awesomepic #swiss #zermatterhof #travelbuddy #roadtrip

Breuil-Cervinia is an Alpine resort in the Valle d’Aosta region of northwest Italy. It’s known for its snow-capped mountains, including the pyramid-shaped Matterhorn. A network of slopes connects Breuil-Cervinia to Swiss resorts like Zermatt, and to the Plateau Rosà and Ventina glaciers. The A Mountain of Work Museum displays photos and equipment related to the construction of the cable-car system. A Breuil Cervinia hotel typically costs much less than a Zermatt hotel which can be expensive, although Cervinia can cost more than some other nearby Italian ski resorts. Other Cervinia accommodation includes self-catering apartments & chalets of varying standards. The Matterhorn Ski Paradise is one of the largest ski resorts in the world and is the highest ski resort in the Alps at almost 4000 meters elevation. The winter sports area features a fantastic view of the Matterhorn and stretches across two countries. Zermatt is the entry point in Switzerland and Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche are the entry points in Italy. Zermatt lies at an elevation of 1,620 meters above sea level and is surrounded by a total of 38 peaks that are higher than 4000 meters. The highest and largest summer ski resort in the Alps is the Matterhorn glacier paradise located on the Theodul Glacier.

The Glacier Express rides on one of the worlds best rails. One portion of the journey is even UNESCO recognised! Although not cheap at around €300+ per pax, finding an alternative to this is almost impossible. The train goes through and along mountains and provides spectacular views that could leave you in awe for almost all 8 hours of the journey. You can purchase meals onboard the train however they are a little pricey. They however will not stop you from bringing your own meals on board if you’d like (which is what we did)! The seats were quite comfy, although it’s not the kind you could easily sleep in. There’re plugs and trash bins at every table for your convenience. The windows go all the way up for your panoramic indulgence. And best of all, there is wifi. If you’d like to go the whole stretch, take the train from St. Moritz all the way to Zermatt. You could also save a bit of cash and take from the halfway point at Chur. #2023TravelWish #MyTripVlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #wintergetaway

#skiadventure Matterhorn Glacier Paradise - to visit on a clear day. Otherwise, you won't all the peaks. We have our shre of beautiful views of the valley and the glaciers. This place is open for skiing all year round. We were on the same cogwheel with people armed with their ski gears. Feeling envied, but we were not prepared for some ski adventure for this trip. Be back soon! #mytripvlog

#skiadventure Gornergrat - heart of the Zermatt skiing area - can be reached from Zermatt town with a 33-minute cogwheel train ride. From here, you can have a clear view of the Matterhorn and dozens of other tall peaks (if the weather is good). The mountain panorama and the view of the Matterhorn are unforgettable. A good day trip from Zermatt if you are visiting. Will be back for some ski adventure! #mytripvlog

#skiadventure Rotenboden, at an altitude of 2,815 metres, is the fourth station along the Gornergrat Railway. It gave a beautiful view of the Matterhorn. We were there during spring, and the place was still filled with snow. The weather was great. And, we managed to watch some ski moments. Hope to be back in Zermatt in the near future during the winter season to get our share of ski adventures. #mytripvlog

June to September: Situated at a height of 1,600 metres, the climate in Zermatt is very pleasant until autumn. The best time to visit Zermatt is during summers, between June and September. The temperature ranges from 12 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. September is generally excellent for hiking and biking, with daytime highs averaging 15 degrees Celsius. It is also a good time for skiing and other adventure activities. November to January: Christmas and New Year’s is another peak season for tourism in Zermatt, especially for adventure enthusiasts.

Went up to Gornergrat Bahn with CHF88 since we have the Swiss Pass. The view was definitely breathtaking. We were amazed by Switzerland nature. We spent about 4 hours just to appreciate the scenery. Yes, it’s very cold so be prepared to wear thick clothes, heat-tech and gloves. Best if you have a pair of snow shoes to prevent you from falling. You can also get to see the black face sheep if you are lucky. #switzerland #switzerlandphotos #fallingforfall #gornergrat #matterhorn

Still looking for another view of the popular mattheron. Well you can consider going by zermatt towards rothorn via a gondola ride to Blauherd and there after the last stop at rothorn which is the highest viewpoint(above 3000m high) in zermatt where it has relatively good accessibility. Rothorn is also a great lace for hiking and biking during the summer, spring and fall season where you will be able to catch a glimpse of the many scenery this place has to offer. You will experience the clear blue skies and the backdrop of the pointy edge of matterhorn indeed making this one breathtaking view #fallingforfall #scenic #mountain #switzerland #matterhorn #europe #views

So there are 2 popular mountains that many tourists will visit, one is the Jungfraujoch which is the tallest mountain in Europe and another is the matterhorn where the top of the mountain has a horned shaped look. Also, there are 2 locations to view the mighty gorgeously beautiful matterhorn, where I believe the best view point is from Gornergrat itself as this place has an unobstructed view of the peak from afar. Also, gornergrat zermatt itself is already located at a very high elevation of more than 3000metres in altitude, making this one literally breathtaking view! haha! #fallingforfall #scenic #europe #gorgeous #matterhorn #attractions #nature #mountains

Zermatt js a town popular among locals is for its ski resort and another tourists attraction due to its famous mountain called matterhorn. Where this town has cable cars to bring you all yhe way up to matterhorn, but you will be required to transfer at each transfer point up towards the peak. The town itself is also popular as there are many hiking trials at the base of matterhorn or should I say around zermatt, with also prestige luxurious hotels and restaurants. You will also be able to have certain views from afar of the famous matterhorn mountain where you will see the unique shaped horn. You can also stop by the riffelsee lake, when there is a clear view you will be able to see the reflection of mattehorn of the reflection of the lake. Breathtaking isn't it! #fallingforfall #switzerland #matterhorn #mountain #lake #scenic #zermatt #hiking
