Gornergrat Railway (Gornergrat Bahn)

Established in 1898, the Gornergrat Railway (Gornergrat Bahn) remains Europe’s highest open-air railway, connecting the resort town of Zermatt to a 10,135-foot (3,089-meter) station. As the train ascends, passengers are treated to panoramic views of Alpine hamlets, vast glaciers, and the majestic Matterhorn. This historic railway not only serves as a vital link for skiers but also offers a scenic journey for sightseers. Today, visitors can experience the same awe-inspiring landscapes that have captivated travelers for over a century.
