The Gornergrat mountain railway, Sunnegga funicular and Matterhorn Glacier Paradise (Klein Matterhorn) cable-car will whisk you up to some of the most beautiful vistas in Switzerland and numerous walking trails. Activities include skiing, tennis, swimming and cycling, making Zermatt the perfect choice for all ages!
