Matterhorn Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Matterhorn in 2026?

For optimal Matterhorn views, head up the Klein Matterhorn via the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondola, or ascend to the Gornergrat summit via the Gornergrat railway. Round-trip Matterhorn Glacier Paradise tickets from Zermatt range from 99-132 francs, depending on when you go, while Gornergrat tickets are 96-132 francs.

Q: How long do you need at the Matterhorn?

While it depends on what you plan on doing in the mountains, most visitors find that a few hours is enough time to see the Matterhorn. This includes the travel time on the Gornergrat cog railway, 3S Cable Car, or Rothorn cable car for a return trip to their respective viewpoints.

Q: Is the Matterhorn cable car included in the Swiss Travel Pass?

No, the Matterhorn cable cars are not free with the Swiss Travel Pass. Instead, the pass provides a 50 percent discount on the Gornergrat cog railway, 3S Cable Car, and Rothorn cable car. The Swiss Travel Pass does include free train travel to Zermatt from Montreux and St. Moritz.

Q: Can you do the Matterhorn without a guide?

No. You should not attempt to climb the Matterhorn without a guide. Finding the route is very challenging without intimate knowledge of the mountain. The climb requires considerable physical fitness and experience climbing mountains with crampons and handling technical ascents.

Matterhorn Paragliding flight in Zermatt (20-25min)

Stephen_F, Feb 2026

Experience of a life time!

We were a little nervous about paragliding as we have never done it before. Our pilots Bruce and Chris put us at ease with their expert knowledge! They were fun and willing to do what you were comfortable with in the air. It was a ride of a lifetime and highly recommended going with them and Matterhorn paragliding.

A must do!

5/5 experience! Cedric was fantastic! This was our first time skiing and without his help we would have had no idea where to go, how to get the lifts, where we can still ski, where’s the best place to rent equipment, etc. my son was a beginner and he was the only reason he had a great day because beginner where we ski and beginner here are not the same! Overall a great day that I highly recommend!

Great tour! Very informative.

We had a great mountain tour. Cedric showed us a great deal of the mountain and was very thorough in explaining how to navigate the resort. We explored the Italian and the Swiss sides.

Flight of a lifetime

I loved this! At first (before booking online) I was a little nervous about doing this. But once I got there, I was fine. My main focus was on the "run" that I didn't concern myself with getting spooked. I think my guide was Alan, and he totally prepared me and took me on the flight of a lifetime. Matterhorn view was amazing too!

Chris was absolutely incredible. I was very nervous going into this experience, but he gave me the smoothest, calmest, most amazing ride imaginable. I was able to fully relax and take in the views the entire time. He explained everything clearly, made me feel completely safe, and his confidence and skill were evident from start to finish. This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and I would 100 percent recommend Chris to anyone. An unforgettable experience thanks to him.

10/10 Experience

Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and overall this was such a great experience. If you care a lot about photos or video footage, I would recommend asking a few questions before getting started. My partner was able to hold and control the camera and ended up with great footage, knowing exactly when it was on and how to use it. For me, it was a bit unclear when the camera was active or when I should look at it or smile while the guide was holding it, so some of my footage turned out a little wonky and not quite as clear. That said, the guides were excellent listeners and tailored the experience to what we wanted. Definitely let them know if you’re looking for something more chill or more active. I also really appreciated how responsive the company was to every message. Thank you for a wonderful time!
