Informations supplémentaires:
Gornergrat, above Zermatt, is Switzerland's highest open-air train station. The Gornergrat Bahn electric cog railway opened for business in 1898, hauling tourists from Zermatt to a scenic overlook 9.4 km away. The Gornergrat Railway's lower station is in Zermatt next to the main Brig-Visp-Zermatt railway station.There are half a dozen stops between Zermatt and Gornergrat--including Riffelalp and Riffelberg, which give access to two mountain hotels. At the Gornergrat station, you'll find a hotel, an astronomical observatory, and an aerial cablecar to the Hohtälli, where you can connect to cablecars for the Stockhorn and Rote Nase. (The Hohtälli and Stockhorn cablecars operate during the ski season and the summer tourist season, while the Rote Nase cablecar serves skiers from from the end of November to early May.)
