Additional Information

Experience the Matterhorn from the Gornergrat’s peak during a 6-hour private journey. Take a closer look at the mountain town of Zermatt and gain insight into its rich mountaineering past.

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation or at the Zermatt train station followed by a brief walking tour around the visually stunning town of Zermatt.

Travel aboard the renowned Gornergrat cogwheel train to the top-rated viewpoint that directly overlooks the Matterhorn. During the 35-minute ascent, absorb the panoramic wonders of the Alpine landscape. If desired, you can amble down to the Riffelsee for capturing remarkable snapshots of the Matterhorn.

There is ample opportunity for relaxation at the peak, and you can also educate yourself about the nearby landmarks, including the Monte Rosa Hut. Initially a humble stone shelter for climbers, the current hut is ultra-contemporary and highly operational, with solar electricity and shiny aluminum skin.

The tour rounds up with a descent on the cogwheel train back to Zermatt. Your unforgettable journey ends with a drop-off at your place of lodging or the Zermatt train station.

Pete is the best guide - what a wonderful family day! - Such a great option for a family excursion. It's perfect if you have people in your group who don't ski, but you still want them to experience the magic feeling of being on the slopes. Me, my sister, and our parents had Pete as our guide, and he absolutely made the day for us! He made the day so easy and was incredibly attentive to all of our needs. His agenda was much more fun and memorable compared to if we had just booked tickets up to Gornergrat and toured alone. He took us on a breathtaking hike through the snow and to a mountain restaurant for an excellent lunch with a view. One thing to note, the hike is a little steep - it might not be right if you have someone with mobility issues. However, since it's a private tour, I'm sure this part of the agenda could be changed. Thanks to Pete, we also got way better pictures and videos of this awesome excursion, instead of just our usual selfies or incomplete family photos we normally take when travelling. We will never forget this trip! What a great investment into our family memory bank.

Memorable day! This private excursion is a must. - Pete was absolutely amazing! He was so attentive to us. He made sure we didn't miss a thing. His knowledge of the ares is unparalleled. His pre-excurion communication texts helped eliminate the usual pre-excursion jitters. He did everything in his power to ensure we experienced the mountains in every way possible. Our lunch was exquisite. I highly recommend this private excursion. It is worth every penny. Be sure to ask for Pete!

Great Gornergrat!!! - My family and enjoyed a delightful day with Peter, leaving from Zermatt we took the train to Gornergrat. Peter did a great job of tuning into our pace, limitations and interests. We enjoyed the awe inspiring views, took two lovely, short hikes and enjoyed an incredible meal at a locally run restaurant we would never have found on our own. It felt much more like visiting a friend in a place they love than a guided tour.

An amazing experience - We had many memorable experiences with the beautiful scenery and hiking. The most memorable thought was our guide, Petr who is also a professional photographer. He did way more than expected for a family of nine. We would hire him again without a second thought.

An exciting experience provided by a professional organization. - Our guide, Marcello made the sights come alive in words and information as our eyes saw the images. Marcello related both to me, an 80 year old grandfather, and my grandson, a 24 year old outdoor enthusiast. A wonderful experience.
