The Gornergrat - the Heart of the Zermatt Ski Area
A Winter Paradise for Skiers, Families, and Nature Lovers
With its stunning location and diverse activities, the Gornergrat is the ultimate meeting point for skiers, winter hikers, and families alike.
Your Gateway to Skiing Fun
The Gornergrat Railway’s base station is conveniently located just across from Zermatt’s train station – the perfect starting point for your alpine adventure. With the Zermatt Ski Pass, you can enjoy unlimited rides on the Gornergrat Railway, cable cars, and chairlifts, giving you endless opportunities to explore Zermatt’s ski slopes.
Family-Friendly Skiing
Are you skiing with your kids? The Gornergrat is perfect for young skiers. Between the Gornergrat and Riffelberg, you’ll find scenic blue and red slopes – ideal for families to enjoy winter sports together against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain scenery.
Warming Up Made Easy
If the little ones get cold, there’s a simple solution: take the comfortable Gornergrat Railway instead of the chairlift to get back up the mountain. During the ride, kids can warm up and get ready for the next run. In high season, the shuttle trains run every 10 minutes between Riffelberg and Gornergrat – convenience at its best!
The Perfect Meeting Point for Everyone
Not everyone in your family or group skis? No problem! The Gornergrat boasts numerous sun terraces that are ideal gathering spots. Whether you’re a winter hiker, tobogganer, or skier, there’s something for everyone:
Cozy coffee breaks
Lunch with spectacular panoramic views
The perfect start to après-ski
The restaurants and mountain huts are easily accessible, whether on skis or on foot, and invite you to relax and enjoy.
More Than Just Skiing: Winter Fun for All
The Gornergrat offers much more than traditional skiing. Experience an exhilarating toboggan run on the highest sledding track in the Alps, explore the snowy landscape on snowshoes, or enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the mountains on well-marked winter hiking trails.
