If you're looking for a train ride that's out of this world, then the GORNERGRATBAHN is the one for you. Picture this: a cogwheel train, chugging its way up through the mountains, with the most incredible views you've ever seen. Sounds pretty epic, right?

And the journey itself is just as enchanting! As the train winds its way up through the Swiss Alps, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. Trust me, it's the kind of scenery that will make your jaw drop.

TIP: When you embark from Zermatt towards Gornergrat, Remember to sit on the RIGHT facing the direction of where the train is moving, as that is the side facing the Matterhorn!
