I took a ride up to the Klein Matterhorn as my starting point for a climb to the Breithorn West summit. In May, they run a slightly reduced service from Zermatt to Furi, but there's plenty of space, and I didn't have to queue anywhere. The ride was smooth and the views were very nice. I skipped the "glacier paradise" as I had other interests. Going up there to around 3800 meters is, however, an excellent opportunity for non-alpinists to nevertheless experience some of the impressive scenery of the high Alps with plenty of 4000+ meters high summits in view. It will also give you a sense of high-mountain breathlessness when you walk around a bit. The only other location I can compare this with is the Aiguille du Midi cable car in Chamonix. In terms of price, they're pretty much identical. The Klein Matterhorn station gives you extremely easy access to the world of glaciers. At Aiguille du Midi, there is a stronger sense of Alpine wilderness to the landscape as there's no ugly ski piste. If you have just a day in Zermatt, then I definitely recommend taking this ride. For Alpinists: the Breithorn West summit at 4164m can be reached in a roughly 3 hour return trip under good conditions in the main climbing season. But you need experience and equipment for glacier travel and a gps navigator in case low clouds make navigation hard on the Breithorn plateau. Also, the high altitude air does take a toll if you're still acclimatising.

We are in Zermatt now. On Sat we bought skipasses for 6 days. The lady at the counter asked whether we wanted skipasses only for slopes in CH or IT as well. We bought for both. We were not told though that the connection with Italy was closed on that day so we wouldn't be able to go there! Moreover, we are here for the 4th day and the connection was not opened even once since we came. We have 2 days more.. We'll see if we manage to go to IT at least once (at the price for 6 days of course)! To add to that, they tend to close lifts which were open on the same day, so don't plan where you will go as you may be surprised! Matterhorn app to check if cable lifts are open is a must if you decide to come here. We are in Switzerland for the first time and it's totally not worth coming here. Usually we go to Austria and we've never had such experience. We'll definitely won't come back here because of such poor customer service. Just to be clear, it's not that they are not opening because of poor weather. The weather is amazing! We are going to claim our money back for services not used as they were not offered throughout our stay, we'll see how it goes, stay tuned..But from what we are told, even by Swiss, that's a regular practice here... Throughout all the year!

Very nice gondola ride to Glacier paradise, need to make one change at Trockener Steg if you want to go directly to the Glacier paradise. There are small cafe and restaurants at both Trockener Steg and Glacier paradise if you want some food and drink. Better to check the weather on the mountain webcam before the travel, weather can be very different in Zermatt village and at the mountain, and show them the Swiss discount card if you have when purchasing ticket

This is the first cable car in the ride to the top of Europe to the glacier Paradise ice cave, the experience is incredible there is also a restaurant at the top. Tickets can be purchased at the base of this lift.

Stunning views of the mountain and Glacier. This is my 2nd visit since June 2023. This time I came along with more family members and they all really enjoyed the trip and the views.
