Full description

A series of cable cars lifts you from Zermatt past Furi and Trockener Steg to the Klein Matterhorn, where the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise station sits at about 3,883 m. From the viewing platform on clear days you can see peaks across Switzerland, Italy and France.

Inside the mountain, the Glacier Palace has ice sculptures and tunnels cut into the glacier. Snow is on the ground all year, and summer skiing on the glacier runs on part of the ski area. Allow at least half a day for the round trip.
