Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Klein Matterhorn, above Zermatt, Switzerland

Cableways carry visitors to Klein Matterhorn, where the viewing platform stands at 3,883 metres. The panorama takes in glaciers and peaks across Switzerland, Italy and France, with the Matterhorn seen from an unfamiliar angle. Below, the Glacier Palace brings ice formations and sculptures into the excursion, while the Cinema Lounge offers another way to explore the mountains. Go for clear-weather views, dress warmly even in summer and leave plenty of time for the ascent and return.
