Grindelwald, the Alpine village where two glaciers loom, facing the north face of the Eiger and the Wetterhorn. Spring, when yellow flowers bloom like a carpet; summer, when alpine plants bloom and the sun sparkles; the romantic autumn of colouring trees; winter, where you feel the majestic beauty of the snowy mountains — amid the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking and skiing.
From the town of Grindelwald, change at Kleine Scheidegg on the way and take the mountain railway to Jungfraujoch. From Jungfraujoch station at 3454 m, you can see the World Heritage Aletsch Glacier. From the Sphinx viewpoint (3571 m), the ranges of the Mönch and Jungfrau are right before you. In December 2020, the Eiger Glacier cable car opened.
Zermatt, the village at the foot that embraces the famous Matterhorn. Out of environmental consideration, petrol cars are banned and the air is clear and clean. You can easily reach spectacular viewpoints such as Gornergrat, Rothorn, Sunnegga and Klein Matterhorn by cable car or mountain railway.
From the town of Zermatt, the mountain railway takes about 30 minutes to the Gornergrat viewpoint. The Matterhorn drawing close is truly impressive. Many say the angle of the Matterhorn seen from the Gornergrat viewpoint is the most beautiful; it is the most popular viewpoint.
Famous as the "world's slowest express train" at an average speed of about 34 km/h, the Glacier Express connects Zermatt and St. Moritz. On this course, you ride the Glacier Express for about 6 hours between Zermatt and Chur. All cars are glazed panorama cars, so you can view Switzerland's beautiful scenery while seated at ease.
