Convenient cableway to reach hikes

Public Transport

Message from Tanya@SwissFamilyFun

This cable car travels between the Furi station and Trockener Steg stations.

It's the section section of cableway that takes visitors the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise viewpoint. In this case, when you reach Trockener Steg, you would transfer to the Matterhorn Glacier Ride cable car.

People also use this gondola to access the Matterhorn Glacier Trail and trail to the Hörnli Hut.

Practical info

Open year round. From mid June to mid Sept, it's open 7:15 - 17:15. Otherwise, typically open 8:40 - 16:30. See current opening times.

Typically you purchase your tickets at the valley station in Zermatt. But they also have a ticket desk at both ends of the ride.

The cable car carries 125 people. The ride is about 6.5 mins. It leaves about every 10 mins.
