About Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Switzerland
Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, located at 3,883 metres on the Klein Matterhorn, is Europe’s highest cable car station and one of the premier alpine destinations near Zermatt. Open year-round, it offers stunning views of 38 peaks over 4,000 metres, including the iconic Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau ranges. Reach the summit by taking the Matterhorn Glacier Ride, a modern 3S cableway featuring glass-floored cabins for panoramic views. The journey from Zermatt to the Glacier Paradise takes about 40 minutes, with transfers at Furi and Trockener Steg. At the top, highlights include the Glacier Palace, an ice cave with tunnels and sculptures located 15 metres beneath the surface, and the Cinema Lounge, which showcases short films about the region. The panoramic platform offers 360° views of the surrounding peaks. The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise is a must-see for those looking to experience the Alps’ breathtaking beauty without needing mountaineering skills.
