Excellent trip with our guide Pete. Went to the top of the mountain with excellent views, the zoom theater and enjoyed a 90 hike with spectacular views. Enjoyed a wonderful lunch over looking Materhorn and finished our experience with a tour of Zermott. Pete was extremely knowledgeable in all details around Switzerland, the alps, skiing etc. would highly recommend this experience and specifically with Pete.

An Amazing Day Adventure

Donald_T, May 2025

What an amazing adventure. David was our guide for the day. We rode the train to the top of Mt Gourgerat and spent time taking pictures and a hot chocolate at the lodge. We then took the train back down the mountain and got off and took a long hike back to Zermatt. David our guide was informative and a pleasure to listen to as he provided us with the history of the region and its chalet architecture. Thank you David for a wonderful and amazing adventure today!

Response from Host, May 2025

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide, Jack, met us at our hotel and first took us by train to Mt Gornergrat to see amazing views. We then toured the Zoom museum and had a lovely lunch on the mountain. After our time on the mountain, we came back by train to Zermatt where Jack showed us key sites, restaurants and shopping in Zermatt. Along the way, we learned much about the culture and history of the town. I would highly recommend the tour and Jack as the guide.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

We had many memorable experiences with the beautiful scenery and hiking. The most memorable thought was our guide, Petr who is also a professional photographer. He did way more than expected for a family of nine. We would hire him again without a second thought.

Our guide, Marcello made the sights come alive in words and information as our eyes saw the images. Marcello related both to me, an 80 year old grandfather, and my grandson, a 24 year old outdoor enthusiast. A wonderful experience.
