Zermatt

Alpine village break in the Matterhorn's shadow via cogwheel rail

Railtour Suisse operates this two-day, one-night package to Zermatt, the car-free Alpine village set beneath the Matterhorn in southwestern Switzerland. The package includes 2nd class rail travel on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn and one night's accommodation. Zermatt has drawn mountaineers and adventurers since the Matterhorn's first ascent in 1865. The village sits surrounded by nearly a third of the Alps' 4,000-metre peaks and holds the highest ski area in the Alps. Summer visitors hike and cycle through Alpine meadows; winter brings some of Europe's premier skiing. The package suits couples seeking intimate Alpine scenery, repeat rail travellers eager to ride the Gornergrat cogwheel railway, and photographers drawn by the Matterhorn and its surrounding peaks. Traditional Swiss fondue and raclette with Valais wine round out the experience, though dining and the celebrated Gornergrat railway are available separately.
