Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Matterhorn Glacier Paradise is Europe’s highest cable car station, reached from Zermatt with spectacular views of the Matterhorn.
Ride the world’s highest 3S cableway to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at 3,883 m. From the summit viewing platform, take in a breathtaking sweep of 38 four-thousanders and 14 glaciers, then step into the Glacier Palace to explore a magical world of eternal ice.
The panorama spans the largest glaciers of the Alps and the peaks of Switzerland, France, and Italy—with Mont Blanc seemingly within reach. You’re now close to the Italian border, gazing at the “endearing rear” of the iconic Matterhorn. Far below, at the mountain’s foot, lies Europe’s largest year-round ski area, open 365 days a year.
