Ticket for Klein Matterhorn/Glacier Paradise
Yulius is planning a two-day trip to Zermatt in early May, focusing on the Matterhorn Paradise and Gornergrat areas. He is looking for advice on the right tickets to buy with his Swiss Travel Pass for his itinerary.
- With a Swiss Travel Pass, you get 50% off mountain transport in Zermatt, so show your pass at the ticket booth for discounts.
- Consider buying tickets at the booth or online one day in advance to check the weather first.
- If you want to visit multiple areas, the Zermatt – Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ticket is a good option for hop-on-hop-off travel.

Hi Yulius,
if you have a Swiss Travel Pass you will get 50% off the mountain transport around Zermatt (like Gornergrat, Klein Matterhorn (Glacier Paradise, Sunnegga-Rothorn. You can buy these tickets in advance or at the ticket counter. I recommend buying them only at the ticket counter or online 1 day in advance so you can check the weather first. In case of very bad weather you may want to change your plans.

If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, just go to the ticket booth in the relevant station at Zermatt, show the STP to obtain your 50% discounted ticket.
The Gornergrat Railway station is positioned at 90 degrees next to the main MGB station in Zermatt, and the ticket booths are clearly obvious on entering the station building from the street. There is no benefit to buying tickets in advance as the trains are all freely open to all.

Klein Matterhorn base station is at the south (‘upper’) end of the village (a 1200m walk through the main street, or slightly longer via the scenic path along the river) or there is an urban electric bus service

hi, Lidiko I little confuse about the ticket, because i see in the website :
Zermat – Matternhorn : CHF 109
Furi – Schwarzee : CHF 40
Furi – Trockener Steg : CHF 61
So if i want to go to Matterenhorn ,Scwarzsee, Trockener Steg , What ticket I must buy ?

In case you want to go up to the top, to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, then you should buy the Zermatt – Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ticket (return).
If you want you can get out everywhere (like Furi, Schwarzsee) from the cable car and walk around a bit then continue your trip – in the same direction.

For an extra CHF 30.00 (CHF 20.00 for children) per day you can also use the glacier ski area during the period covered by your Peak Pass. The summer snow sports option can be purchased from the Matterhorn glacier paradise sales desk.

The cableways from Zermatt to Klein Matterhorn have been built up over a century, and modernised gradually. This together with the complex geography of the landscape means that Zermatt – Klein Matterhorn is not one single lift.
There are two routes
1) old connected direct large size cable cars on fixed cables: Zermatt – Furi – Trockener Steg – Klein Matterhorn (3 sections, change cable car cabins at Furi and Trockener Steg
2) the modern small ‘gondola’ cable way Zermatt – Furi – Schwarzsee – Trockener Steg (known as Matterhorn Express). Because this is a Gondola design on a continuous cable you can go from Zermatt to Trockener Steg in the same cabin
As such as long as you have a Zermatt – Klein Matterhorn ticket you can break your journey for a few minutes at the intermediate points.
BUT PLEASE NOTE, the Matterhorn Express (a key ski lift) is closed for the month of May for it’s post ski season maintenance, so you won’t be able to go to Schwarzsee
