Does the Peak2Peak Ticket cover the train from Gornergrat to Zermatt?

Anonymous · 2024-07-30T15:26:13+02:00

Hello, I have a free day in Zermatt and I'm planning to visit both Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and Gornergrat with Peak2Peak, since it seems that is the best option money wise. Here's my plan: Zermatt - Matterhorn Glacier Paradise Matterhorn Glacier Paradise – Furi Furi – Riffelberg Riffelberg – Gornergrat Gornergrat – Zermatt I will hop on hop off in the station for some sightseeing and then continuing the journey. My question is this, I saw on the website that the Peak2Peak is available on a fixed route, does that include the full train trip from Gornergrat directly to Zermatt? Or do I have to get off the train at Riffelberg and get on the cable car to Furi and then to Zermatt? Thank you!

Hi Cosmo2024,

Welcome to MySwissAlps.

With the Peak2Peak Ticket, you begin your travel with a cable car ride to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Then descent via Furi, from where you will take the Riffelberg Express the Riffelberg station. From there, you travel on the cogwheel train to Gornergrat. From Gornergrat you travel back to Zermatt on the same cogwheel train: see “All about the Peak2Peak Ticket” at https://www.myswissalps.com/town/zermatt/#travel. You can also do the trip in reverse order. There’s an extra charge if you wish to change your route.
