ZERMATT: Gornergrat VS Matterhorn Glacier Paradise...WHICH IS BETTER?

Hi GUYS! On this episode on the Grand Tour of Switzerland we are comparing two famous mountain excursions in Zermatt: The Klein Matterhorn (or the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise) and the Gornergrat. Follow me as I bring you up to the Klein Matterhorn on the magical Crystal Ride, and take in the incredible scenes of 38 mountain peaks above 4,000 metres and with a unique southern view of the Matterhorn!

In Gornergrat, we have a different activities awaiting: starting from a ride onthe chugging Gornergratbahn up to the Gornergrat for the most classic view of the Toblerone mountain. We'll also visit the Zooom Matterhorn musuem, do some fun winter tobogganing together from Rotenboden to Riffelalp, and have fondue lunch with an epic view!

Finally, wrapping up with a visit to the barn to say hi to the cuddly wooly black nose-sheep, and watching a beautiful sunrise at the Murini viewpoint :.

Check out my blog itinerary too for a more detailed comparison guide of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and the Gornergrat!

It is interesting to see how the look of the mountain changes from the different places you were at.

[gianinaguerra]

Thank you Olivia!!! I am planning my Zermatt visit on December, and find very good information with you. Thanks!!

[anguscovoflyer]

Zermatt recently opened a new cable car that provides a second connection to glacier paradise from the Italian side of the border. There is now a ticket that allows you to go from Zermatt to Cervinia and vice versa. 90 mins ride each way! Ticket called Matterhorn alpine crossing.

[balajiprabhuful]

Good & full information in a simple way about Klein Matterhorn.

Hello Ollie, we planning we trip to switzerland and will be staying at zermatt for 2 nights from 17-19 oct. Been watching a lot of your videos for useful tips and sharing, very informative. Can i check with you on something regarding matterhorn glacier paradise vs Gornergrat. Because we only have one full day in zermatt on 18 Oct, do you recommend we dedicate that full day for glacier paradise or Gornergrat? Which one will need more time if we are taking it slow and easy, enjoying the scenery the view etc. Then we will do the other one the following day before we leave the city around late afternoon.

[familyliferocks]

Awesome videos you are making. We are heading there in Jan. Thanks for the tips. Go SG.

[hmcvalesano]

Hi, Is Toboggan run included in Ticket to Gornergrat? did you reserve table at Riffelhause? I'm going to Zermatt in April too, but i think i only do Gornergrat.
