Description
The view from the 360° Loop Gornergrat is extremely memorable: before you lie the Monte Rosa massif with Switzerland’s highest mountain (Dufourspitze, 4,634 m), the second highest glacier in the Alps (Gorner glacier) and a panorama with 29 mountains over 4,000 metres, including the Matterhorn, all close enough to touch.
The short high-altitude hiking trail starts and ends at the Gornergrat viewing platform and runs behind the Gornergrat peak. With a little luck you will see wild ibex.
- 33-minute ride from Zermatt to the Gornergrat with the Gornergrat railway
- beneath the viewing platform: 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat (highest hotel in the Swiss Alps)
