Day trip to Zermatt from Montreux – what can I do
A traveler is planning a day trip to Zermatt from Montreux in the first week of October. They want to visit Gornergrat and the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise but are uncertain about the timing and whether both are feasible within their schedule. This traveler is seeking tips on how much time to allocate for each location while managing travel time.
- Check the SBB timetable to plan your trip better, as it includes both Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn timings.
- Allocate at least one hour at each location and consider spending an additional hour in Zermatt itself.
- If you're not hiking, it may be best to skip Sunnegga since you won’t have enough time to visit Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn.

Dear friends,
Is it possible to do a day trip to Zermatt from Montreux, Plan to visit Gornergrat & Matterhorn Glacier paradise , back to Montreux for night stay.
Month of travel – 1st week of October

Possible but could be a long day. I don;t know how much stamina you have.
Check the SBB Timetable (http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable) to see if the length of the round trip plus the excursions is something you want to undertake.
You might want to consider just Gornergrat.
Dear rockoyster.
Its approx 2 hrs 20 mins each way , to & fro from Montreux to Zermatt – thats not an issue.
WIll i be able to do both Gorgernaut & Matterhorn Glacier paradise from say 11.30 Am to 6 Pm
That’s why I said to check the timetable. The SBB timetable includes both Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn (aka Matterhorn Glacier Paradise) from Zermatt.
Sir, Checked the timetable, but how much time is ideal to be spent at each location(Klein Matterhorn & Gornergrat) is what I need from you guys
Well at a minimum I would allow 1 hour at each plus 1 hour to explore Zermatt seeing you are there.
Thanks a lot Sir,
See the pictures, I’m in two minds as to weather to visit Klein Matterhorn, what do you suggest?
It’s a personal choice. Maybe read this?
Thanks Sir.
What is Sunnegga, worth doing it?
That’s a funicular station up the mountain. Usually it’s where people start/end a hike, but you can also simply enjoy the good view of the Matterhorn from there.
Dear Arno :
Can I visit it keeping in mind that I’m already planning a visit to Gornergrat & Klein Matterhorn
I think you’ll barely have time during your day to do Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn – I’d skip Sunnegga. If you aren’t hiking around there then it is “just” another view of the Matterhorn.
