Priority Boarding
Exclusive Access for the Best View of the Matterhorn
With Priority Boarding, you gain access to an exclusive waiting area, allowing you to board the train 3 minutes ahead of other passengers and choose your preferred seat. During the ascent, the seats on the right side offer the best panoramic view of the majestic Matterhorn, providing an almost uninterrupted spectacle throughout the journey.
How does it work, and what is the cost?
Priority Boarding is exclusively available for the Zermatt-Gornergrat journey. Please arrive on time at the valley station and use the designated "Priority Boarding" entrance on the far right at the turnstile. Open the turnstile using the QR code on your Priority Boarding voucher. Then, use your train ticket to open the second barrier. Note that access to the waiting area closes 10 minutes before departure.
The Priority Boarding surcharge is CHF 7.00 per person. For children up to 6 years old accompanied by an adult, Priority Boarding is free of charge.
