Gornergrat Railway
The Gornergrat railway was the world’s first fully electrified cog railway and remains Europe’s highest open-air railway.

The ride takes just half an hour to climb to the summit and with regular departures, there is one class of travel and no reserved seating – just choose your seat when boarding. Whilst ascending from Zermatt to Gornergrat, remember to watch out for wildlife outside of the train; in Summer there is a strong possibility of seeing wild Ibex on the mountainside!
