Is Glacier Paradise worth visiting in Switzerland? Switzerland’s tiny-but-touristy Zermatt draws millions of tourists every year to catch a glimpse of the glorious Matterhorn mountain. When my friend told me that I must visit Zermatt, I was in double mind as I was a little exhausted from over two weeks of non-stop adventure-filled travel in Switzerland. Although my friend got a bit unlucky with the weather and couldn’t see Matterhorn in its true beauty I got lucky. The two of the biggest attractions in Zermatt that provide the best view of the Matterhorn are Glacier Paradise (closest to the Matterhorn), and Gornergrat. I covered both and, boy what an experience it was. #MatterhornGlacierParadise is an alpine wonderland of ski slopes, panoramic vistas, ice carvings, and a unique view of the Matterhorn. Matterhorn Glacier Paradise is an alpine wonderland of ski slopes, panoramic vistas, ice carvings, and a unique view of the Matterhorn. Being the highest cable car station in Europe (3,883 m), Glacier Paradise is accessed by a series of three gondolas and cable cars. The views of the highest mountains in Italy, France and Switzerland are breathtaking. The ski area on the Theodul Glacier is open 365 days a year. Up here, right by the Italian border, I saw a very different side of the Matterhorn. It was very different to the one from the Gornergrat, it’s as if the Matterhorn had acquired a new look. In fact, this vantage point offers the finest view of the mountain’s south face. I’ve to admit I’m in love with the Matterhorn and now I get why Zermatt village of 5,800 people is so popular. Have you been to the Matterhorn? If not, now is the time.

I had missed a visit to Zermatt during my first visit and had made it a point to visit this place at least once. Gornergrat is more than just a mountain – it's a gateway to a world of natural wonder. Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, this majestic peak offers an experience that is nothing short of breathtaking. The journey to the summit is an adventure in itself, as you hop aboard a charming cogwheel train that winds its way through picturesque landscapes, gradually revealing the grandeur that awaits.

Surrounding peaks wear a blanket of glistening snow, creating a tranquil and almost surreal atmosphere. Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of serenity, Gornergrat delivers..
