LUGGAGE TRANSPORT SERVICE

Since 1 November 2025, a new luggage transport service is available on the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing. Travelers can check in their luggage at the valley stations in Zermatt or Cervinia, enjoy a carefree cable car journey, and collect it at their destination. For CHF/EUR 20.00 per piece we ensure safe and easy transport.
 

WINTER CLOSURES

Please note that the viewing platform at the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise will be closed due to renovations on the elevator from 12–30 January 2026. Additionally, the Glacier Palace will be closed for renovation from 2–27 February 2026. Please also keep in mind that the Crystal Ride cabins are not bookable during the winter season.
 

NEW GIFTHITTLI CHAIRLIFT

After almost 22 years of service, the Gifthittli chairlift is being replaced by a modern and comfortable eight-seater chairlift. Construction is nearly complete, and the lift is scheduled to open this Saturday.

SKI PASS INSURANCES

This winter, a new insurance option is available: International for CHF 1.50/day. It provides a pro-rata refund if the Zermatt–Cervinia connection is closed due to adverse weather.
