Gornergratbahn railway offers views of the Matterhorn

The Gornergratbahn is a prominent electric cog railway in Switzerland that provides access to the Gornergrat at 3,100 meters above sea level. Operating from the resort of Zermatt, it is the second-highest mountain railway in Europe.

The railway offers views of the Matterhorn, a world-famous mountain known for its pyramidal shape. Originally built in 1896 to accommodate increasing tourism following the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865, the line serves hundreds of tourists daily during both summer and winter seasons.
