What an amazing views on the Swiss alps.
We went in the afternoon, it was nice and quit and the sky was more clear then in the morning, from the top we walked to the riffelsee, and took the train back from there to Zermatt.
Fantastic experience

From the train station, I came to the viewing platform, and the scenery of Matterhorn in front of us suddenly fascinated us. Although the sky is not as clear as I hoped, the clouds cover the triangle of Matterhorn, but we can see the whole piece of mountain snow and the sky, just like a postcard! It's really exaggerated in Switzerland, and all these beautiful views are very easy and will make you feel very unreal.
Next to the observation deck, we also found a classical and intimate chapel. Walking inside, you can immediately feel a sacred atmosphere on the head. I think it must be something to remind me. In fact, the chapel on this mountain was originally built for people who had been struggling to climb the Matterhorn all over the world. Now, just as we go to the beach to make the soul feel free, facing the mountain, we are to face it with a very awesome heart.
Going up the path, there is a 360-degree viewing platform. It is amazing to see this full circle of scenery. How can there be such a beautiful place! The sky is so close, it is in my arms.

The best place to see the majestic nature of the Matterhorn is the Gornergrat Observation Deck. From Zermatt station, take a cogwheel train, after 35 minutes to the end, you will see the observation deck. From the observation deck at an altitude of 3092 meters, you can see the 38 peaks of the Alps 360° from 360°. The most spectacular is the Matterhorn Peak. Looking down, the Gorner Glacier is white, which is too shocking~
When you come to Zermatt, you must go on a mountain train! A very worthwhile project and also a rare experience. The Matterhorn can be seen from all angles along the way. It is very beautiful. The pass can be half price. If it is not winter, you can stop and hike. Winter lake freezes. 3100 meters to the top, there is a memorial wall. Those who like skiing can go down from the top and sit up again. It must be fun
The best angle to see the Matterhorn. From Zermatt Railway Station, take the cogwheel mountain train to the terminal. The round-trip price is 45 Swiss francs with the pass. In the middle, you can get off the bus and go around the station and then continue to ride, but each ticket gate can only enter and exit once. The top of the mountain is mainly a viewing platform and restaurant, but there will be many people getting off at the Rotenboden station just before the terminal because it is the most convenient place to see the reflection of the Matterhorn on the lake. After getting off the bus, walk along the road signs for 5-10 minutes and you will be in front of a small lake where you can see the reflection, preferably on a windless day.
Take the Gornergrat mountain train to the terminal station, which is the viewing platform of Gornergrat. Here is mainly to see the Matterhorn. But I think the other hills are better. Maybe because of summer, the snow on the Matterhorn seems to be very little, while the other hills are covered with snow. Climbing up the stone steps and taking a group photo of people and snow-capped mountains, it is shocking!
