What does an Alpine paradise look like? Probably quite like Matterhorn glacier paradise. The peak with Europe’s highest mountain station soars 3,883 metres above sea level. The peak lift takes you up to the 360º viewing platform. The view from there is like paradise.
You can see an incredible 38 four-thousand-metre peaks and 14 glaciers. And a must-see in Zermatt’s glacier paradise: a real glacier palace. Up above, there is a cinema lounge, fine cuisine, superb ski slopes and a little lower, on Trockener Steg or Schwarzsee, hiking and biking trails. And on top of that many unforgettable experiences the whole year round ...
GLACIER PALACE ABOVE ZERMATT
In the world’s highest glacier palace, you can discover a world of eternal ice. Descend fifteen metres below the surface and explore a fairy-tale world of glittering ice crystals, with an ice slide, a glacier crevasse you can walk through and ‘cool’ photopoints. Perfect for families. Open all year round.
