Cloudy day in Gornergrat
#winhkflight #gornergrat #switzerland
Even though is cloudy day, I still enjoy my trip to Gornergrat. It would be better if the weather is clear, you will get to enjoy the spectacular view of Matterhorn. Gornergrat is surrounded by almost 29 peaks. Gornergrat Bahn is reachable with the Gornergrat Railway. The pricing of the railway is vary depending on the route and season. With a Swiss Travel Pass, you will get to enjoy a 50% discount. It is recommended to wear water proof shoes. They also offer plenty of activities such as hiking, sledding, skiing, mountain biking and more. You may check their website for more information.
I want to travel to Hong Kong for a different culture and experience.
The Magical View Of Gornegrat,Zermatt❤️
Falling in Luv❤️ with all the view here...
Gornegrat,Zermatt @Switzerland
A 2 days trip to Gornergrat by driving all the way from Germany is Superb 🥰👍
around 4'000 meters altitude is a must visit for Zermatt visitors.
Enjoy the natural view and falling in love with the view❤️
The views are spectacular, both of the Matterhorn and other mountain peaks. The ride in the cogwheel railway is an interesting experience in and by itself, with several stops during the 35 minute journey.

Gornergrat ❤️
#skiadventure
Gornergrat - heart of the Zermatt skiing area - can be reached from Zermatt town with a 33-minute cogwheel train ride.
From here, you can have a clear view of the Matterhorn and dozens of other tall peaks (if the weather is good).
The mountain panorama and the view of the Matterhorn are unforgettable.
A good day trip from Zermatt if you are visiting. Will be back for some ski adventure!

Ski Adventure in the Alps!
#skiadventure
Zermatt is a ski Paradise!
In winter, the snow-assured ski region offers 360 km of pistes in three varied ski areas: the Sunnegga-Rothorn, Gornergrat-Stockhorn, Schwarzsee and Matterhorn glacier paradise. Snowboarders and freestylers are able to hone their skills in the Snowpark Zermatt in which Olympic hopefuls also train. A crossover to the Italian ski region of Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche is possible from the Matterhorn glacier paradise / Theodulpass.
Those in search of something different can try their hand at paragliding or off-piste heli-skiing accompanied by an experienced mountain guide.
Zermatt
Everyone does know of chocolate called Tobolone. The picture in the package of this chocolate is the matterhorn. no one will bot see this picture before. This place is a quite small town with homey feeling of nice people. The restaurant was very homey called stadel restaurant. The matterhorn is so very beautiful. It is very depend on the weather of that day. If the weather is nice and the cloud is not very cloudy, you will see Matterhorn with the clear picture. one time in the life should be here. It so beautiful and so speechless. The weather was about minus ten but it very fun over there. It will be the place that you would like to come back again
Breathtaking view of Matterhorn
Went up to Gornergrat Bahn with CHF88 since we have the Swiss Pass. The view was definitely breathtaking. We were amazed by Switzerland nature. We spent about 4 hours just to appreciate the scenery. Yes, it’s very cold so be prepared to wear thick clothes, heat-tech and gloves. Best if you have a pair of snow shoes to prevent you from falling. You can also get to see the black face sheep if you are lucky. #switzerland #switzerlandphotos #fallingforfall #gornergrat #matterhorn

The View From Gornergrat Of Matterhorn
So there are 2 popular mountains that many tourists will visit, one is the Jungfraujoch which is the tallest mountain in Europe and another is the matterhorn where the top of the mountain has a horned shaped look.
Also, there are 2 locations to view the mighty gorgeously beautiful matterhorn, where I believe the best view point is from Gornergrat itself as this place has an unobstructed view of the peak from afar. Also, gornergrat zermatt itself is already located at a very high elevation of more than 3000metres in altitude, making this one literally breathtaking view! haha!

What an amazing views on the Swiss alps.
We went in the afternoon, it was nice and quit and the sky was more clear then in the morning, from the top we walked to the riffelsee, and took the train back from there to Zermatt.
Fantastic experience
#tripaway
From the train station, I came to the viewing platform, and the scenery of Matterhorn in front of us suddenly fascinated us. Although the sky is not as clear as I hoped, the clouds cover the triangle of Matterhorn, but we can see the whole piece of mountain snow and the sky, just like a postcard! It's really exaggerated in Switzerland, and all these beautiful views are very easy and will make you feel very unreal.
Next to the observation deck, we also found a classical and intimate chapel. Walking inside, you can immediately feel a sacred atmosphere on the head. I think it must be something to remind me. In fact, the chapel on this mountain was originally built for people who had been struggling to climb the Matterhorn all over the world. Now, just as we go to the beach to make the soul feel free, facing the mountain, we are to face it with a very awesome heart.
Going up the path, there is a 360-degree viewing platform. It is amazing to see this full circle of scenery. How can there be such a beautiful place! The sky is so close, it is in my arms.

As we ventured to Gornegrat, anticipation electrified the air. Ascending the cogwheel train, we were greeted by sweeping vistas of the Swiss Alps. The journey unfolded like a symphony of awe-inspiring panoramas, each turn revealing a new masterpiece of snow-capped peaks and glacier-carved valleys. Stepping off at Grog, the world felt infinite, our family dwarfed by nature's grandeur. We stood in silence, absorbing the majesty of the Matterhorn towering before us, its jagged silhouette etched against the sky. It was a moment of reverence, shared in quiet wonder and profound appreciation for the Earth's sublime beauty.
Looking forward, our next dream destination beckons: the enchanting landscapes of Iceland. Imagining the thrill of exploring its geothermal wonders, cascading waterfalls, and rugged coastlines fills us with excitement. We envision traversing the otherworldly terrain of Landmannalaugar, marveling at the aurora dancing across the Arctic sky, and soaking in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon. It’s a journey that promises adventure, discovery, and unforgettable moments together as a family amidst Iceland's untamed beauty.
Magnificent Matterhorn!
Had a magical time in Zermatt, Switzerland especially when you get to see the Matterhorn from all angles no matter which part you are at in this beautiful town! They say you are lucky if you get to see it in full glory as it's a very shy mountain! Head up to Gornergrat and have a hike while soaking in the Swiss beauty if that's what you enjoy! #travel #Switzerland #zermatt

Stunning View of Matterhorn from Gornergrat
#wintertrip
📍Gornergrat, Switzerland 🇨🇭
One of the must visit places once in a lifetime, the Gornergrat! With an altitude of 3,089m, Gornergrat offers the majestic and breathtaking view of Matterhorn! We were very lucky to have a clear day with great visibility and the views were just out of the world! Switzerland is literally heaven on earth! While Matterhorn is the main attraction, the glaciers surrounding Gornergrat were mesmerising too! We took the train ride from Zermatt to the peak of Gornergrat, smooth and scenic ride, we love it! The top station has a café, gift shop, a small church, a few view points of the peak and for pictures! We spent around 2-3hours at the peak taking photos, taking in the views and had our lunch at the café! Be sure to layer yourself with thick clothes and coats to keep yourself warm! 10/10 recommending this destination! ✨

Gornergrat: Winter's Alpine Symphony
#familytrips
Gornergrat, located in the Swiss Alps, boasts a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when the Gornergrat Railway was inaugurated in 1898, making it one of the first cogwheel railways in the world. This majestic mountain offers panoramic views of the iconic Matterhorn and surrounding peaks. The Gornergrat summit, at an elevation of 3,135 meters (10,285 feet), became a popular destination for mountaineers and nature enthusiasts.
When blanketed in snow, Gornergrat transforms into a winter wonderland, enhancing its allure. The pristine white landscape sparkles under the sun, and the snow-covered fir trees create a picturesque scene. Visitors are treated to a serene, otherworldly experience as they witness the snow-capped peaks glistening against the azure sky. The Gornergrat, draped in its winter attire, invites travelers to embrace the tranquility and breathtaking beauty of the alpine surroundings.

A day dominated by the Matterhorn
In Zermatt, the 'City of Glaciers', take the cogwheel train all the way up the mountain, to the Gornergrat at an altitude of 3089 meters. Today, I enjoyed the beauty of the glaciers, it was also a day 'dominated' by the Matterhorn.
Why not take a train to Gornergrat?
When you are in Zermatt, try to ride on a local train to Gornergrat, a look out point at over 3000 meters above the sea level, here you will be able to take a nice picture of the fame Matterhorn at a close proximity.
In one's lifetime, one must visit the Swiss snow and ice paradise 🇨🇭.
Recommended accommodation in Zermatt town, Valais, Switzerland (Pic 345). In the town, you can see the Matterhorn, a mountain peak shaped like a pyramid, which is particularly spectacular (Pic 1236). The hotel we stayed in was the CERVO Mountain Boutique Resort, where you can see the Matterhorn from your room (Pic 7).
Then you can take a small train in the town to Gornergrat viewing platform. This place not only offers a close-up view of the Matterhorn, but also skiing 🎿!! There are many stations in between that offer different ski slopes for you to choose from.
After playing tired at night and coming down the mountain, you can take a walk in the town of Zermatt. Private cars are not allowed in the town, so transportation mainly relies on walking, public transportation, and hotel taxis. The entire residential area is very compact, and there are also many places to eat~ You can try the most famous Swiss cheese hot pot 🫕.
Compared to the crowdedness of Shao Nv Feng, there are much fewer people at this ski resort. Shao Nv Feng is really too crowded, with average experience and low cost-effectiveness for going up the mountain. The entire skiing atmosphere in Zermatt is very strong, and most people are carrying skiing equipment and preparing to go up the mountain.
