Gornergrat Bahn – Ride to the Roof of the Alps

📝 Summary Review: The Gornergrat Bahn is a spectacular cogwheel train journey from Zermatt to Gornergrat (3,089 m), offering one of the most scenic railway rides in the world. In just over 30 minutes, it ascends past pine forests, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys, with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and over 29 Alpine peaks above 4,000 meters.
