Gornergrat
Introduction
Discover a top-class natural paradise:
Travel through aromatic stone pine and larch forests and across alpine meadows in summer time full of flowers and in winter time deaply snow-capped you arrive in the midst of 29 snow and ice-covered four-thousand-meter-high mountains including such famous greats us Matterhorn (4478 m), Liskamm (4527 m) and Dufour-Spitze (4634 m).
The Kulmhotel Gornergrat, the highest hotel in the Swiss Alps (3100 m), and other restaurants located along the route treat guests to the very best food and drink.
Getting There
The Gornegrat is served by a railway of the same name (Gornergratbahn) and, whilst picturesque, the journey is a very slow ride up to the Gornegrat peak (3,089m), via Riffelalp, Rotenboden and Riffelberg, (with limited stops at Findelbach and Landtunnel just above the town).
