With its modern design and passage through pillar number one, which is round for structural reasons, it is an eye-catcher for visitors from near and far. From May 2024, it will boast another highlight - the Rooftop-Ride on the top of the cable car for a unique cabriolet feeling. The Rooftop-Ride will be used for the first time on the 2nd of May. While the parallel Matterhorn Express is undergoing maintenance between 2 May and 15 June 2024, the new aerial tramway will transport all guests between Zermatt and Furi and will be in daily operation. This offers the ideal opportunity to book a ride on the cableway's balcony as an add-on. Guests can use a rooftop ride ticket for CHF 10 to get through an additional turnstile, which takes them up to the roof of the aerial tramway via a staircase in the station. The journey between Zermatt and Furi then offers a unique and airy convertible experience with a view of the Matterhorn. The new offer, which is an optional part of the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing route, is another highlight on the cross-border cable car journey around the Matterhorn. The Rooftop-Ride is also a special experience during the summer months outside of the Matterhorn Express maintenance periods. The ride, including the balcony, can be booked for a maximum of 15 people as an exclusive and private experience, crowning a unique occasion such as a marriage proposal with an unforgettable highlight.
