In Zermatt-which is worth visiting-Gonergrat or Klein Matterhorn? |
I planned to go to Zermatt from Zurich..not much time there..so i would like to knw which of these 2 offer the best view of Matterhorn. I have been to Zermatt and took the Gonergrat to see the Matterhorn. I have never visited Klein Matterhorn but I can tell you about Gonergrat. It was hands down my favorite spot I visited in all of Europe. I was there in June and while it was very warm in the city of Zermatt, it was much cooler high in the mountains. There was still snow on the ground, in fact my friend and I got in a snowball fight. The skies were super clear that day and the Matterhorn seemed so close. There is an observation place and there is also a good picture taking spot where there are risers for group photos. Hope this is helpful. Enjoy your trip! If you are going soon I believe it is under construction. The swiss have approved a measure to expand the facilities. Klein Matterhorn is a beatiful viw and also the center for skiing during the summer. It features a glacier palace which ou can walk through. Gornergrat has a old style train(rather than gondola) that takes you to a lodge where you can hang out and wait for the matterhorn to emerge from the clouds. It is also a place that is the stepping off point to hiking trails. To me Gornergrat offers the most traditional view of the matterhorn. You get to see the most popular Zermatt view followed by the flat face rather than the side/back from Klein Matterhorn |

You can go in a Mediashop or in a Interdiscount. There the prices are cheap. You can find more than one shop in Z眉rich. Surely the Interdiscount is in the Building of the Railway. ...i like Manor and Coop City, both are mid-range department stores. Globus and Jelmoli are more high-end (though not to the extent of NYC highend: Barneys, Bergdorf, etc.) if you go in June/July, i... |
