Three people walk on snowshoes through a snow-covered landscape, with the Gornergrat Bahn and the Matterhorn in the background.

Snowshoeing on the Gornergrat

Discover pure nature in Zermatt by snowshoe

Why not loosen up and enjoy a high-alpine landscape with all the senses and get exercise at the same time? A snowshoe tour on the Gornergrat is the best way to do all that. Say farewell to the hustle and bustle of Zermatt for a while, strap on your snowshoes and within a very short time you will have a breathing space amid undisturbed nature.

You walk with your snowshoes through deep snow and follow the pink poles that mark the route. It goes without saying that the routes are regularly checked by the slope safety team and are made secure.

The snowshoe trails on the Gornergrat open at the end of December, depending on snow conditions.

The right offer for your snowshoe tour

You can choose between different options for your snowshoe tour. You can buy individual for the parts of the routes you want to do by train. Please note that the ticket from Zermatt to Gornergrat and back can sometimes be cheaper than buying several tickets for parts of the journey. Otherwise, book a Winter Pass and get around flexibly all day on the mountain. You can hire suitable snowshoes directly at the Gornergrat Bahn, Gornergrat, Rotenboden and Riffelberg stations.
