Muir2000 · 2025-04-20T17:28:52+02:00

Hi everyone - I'm off to Zermatt on the 10th May. I plan to take the Gornergrat railway on the 11th and then on the 12th I was thinking of cable car to Glacier paradise but the website is really confusing me with ticket prices! https://www.matterhornparadise.ch/en/book/tickets?categories%5B%5D=3002400&search=&interests%5B%5D= It says 114CHF to visit Glacier Paradise on the 12th May.. But only 113CHF to go to Testa Grigia.. on the same day.. Isn't Testa Grigia the stop AFTER Glacier Paradise? I am thinking I may aswell buy the Testa Grigia ticket instead to get one foot in Italy :D It says I can get on and off anywhere on route so I can therefore see Glacier paradise as well as Testa Grigia? Then why isn't it more expensive to get to Testa?
