Yelp Review 2026 #152:…read more Zermatt station is small. It has trains going/ coming from St. Moritz, Chur, Tasch, Visp, and Fiesch. It only has 4-5 platforms so, it's quite impossible to get lost. From Bern, we took a train to Visp. from Visp we took Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to Zermatt. The seats are a bit narrower even in first class with a 2-1 configuration vs 2-2 configuration in second class. There are power outlets in first class and there was nobody else in our carriage so, it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a comfortable 1.25hour ride.

Warning that it gets very hot in the train on sunny days so bring sunglasses and layers. Also online it says that you are not allowed to take skis onboard but we were able to take both of our ski bags with no issue, there was even a rack to put them in. Just make sure to be one of the first onboard to ensure space. To note on the above too we actually tried to ship our skis to St Moritz via SBB but the reps for SBB refused to mail them once they found out we were only doing that because the glacier express website said not to bring them and they told us they've never seen skis get denied boarding from Zermatt.

The scenery that this train passes through is very spectacular and there are certain portions where…read morethe train is climbing up or down some pretty steep grades and it can feel like a roller coaster ride, especially with the sharp turns. The entire route goes from Zermatt to St Moritz though I only rode the Brig to Chur portion which includes the highest point of the entire line. However, the train requires a reservation which means you can't decide to get on on a spur of the moment and it's pretty reasonable that they require a reservation: it was packed when I got on and it was only a Wednesday in May which is the off season for travel in Switzerland. The reservation was pretty pricy as well and that doesn't include the overpriced (but still decent) food they serve on board. Keep in mind that most if not all of the length of the line is covered by other trains which you can ride for no extra charge with a Swiss Travel Pass though you may need to change trains many times. The crowded and somewhat loud setting of the train does take away from the experience a little; if you don't mind appearing antisocial, definitely consider bringing noise canceling headphones. Honestly, I would only recommend booking this if you happen to be going in this direction anyways (or in the other way from east to west along Southern Switzerland); I don't think it's worth the time and money to go out of your way to take this train if, say, you're going back to the same hotel to spend the night after finishing your journey on the Glacier Express.

The Gornergrat Bahn was one of those rare experiences that genuinely stayed with me long after it…read moreended. As the train climbed higher, I found myself quietly taking it all in, the steady ascent, the widening views, and the growing sense that I was heading somewhere extraordinary. When the Matterhorn finally came into full view, it felt less like sightseeing and more like a moment to pause and appreciate where I was. Reaching the summit was unforgettable. Standing there, surrounded by glaciers and endless peaks, I did not feel the need to say much at all. The scenery spoke for itself. A picture says a thousand words, and up at Gornergrat, even that feels like an understatement. This was not just a train ride for me; it was a reminder of how powerful and humbling nature can be. The Gornergrat GGB is an experience I would revisit without hesitation and recommend to anyone looking for something truly special.

Great ride up. Wonderful views. However the mountains can disappear within momentsread more

Just after inquiring at the Hotel about what a ride should cost we find out that we have taken for a serious ride. Oh well never ever for us again Taxi Schaller. Not a good way to start your vacation

Seems all very shady, depending who is giving you a ride the price seem to be vastly different…read more Then I tried to complain to their office and the lady just hanged up the phone, great business. I guess in a tourist town like Zermatt they figure they can do what ever they want. Best to walk or use the hotel shuttle. I suggest the tourist office should clamp down on Schaller, bad for business.

Yelp Review 2026 #144:…read more My sister bought tickets online while having breakfast. She got us tickets and priority boarding. When we got to the station, her credit card was charged for 2 tickets and 2 priority boarding but when she was checking our tickets and priority boarding, only 1 was showing up. So, we went to the ticketing office to get clarification but the man was just plain rude and not helpful. He was not there to listen or help. Before you could even get a word out, he's already dismissing you and wants you to buy another ticket. This experience would have been an easy 5 stars if it wasn't for this terrible man. We missed our train because of all this nonsense so we had to wait to catch the next train. The people in front of us at priority boarding was also having issues with their ticket and they had theirs printed. So obviously, it's the ticketing system that's the issue. When all the drama got sorted, we were the first ones to board and got first dibs on seats next to the window so we get a good view of Matterhorn on the way up. The return trip doesn't have a separate line for priority boarding so, it was a bit more chaotic but we managed to get window seats again. The train is a bit cramped especially if you're sitting with taller/ wider people - there's no first class carriages.

Pricey lift to the Matterhorn 112 CHF each gets you roundtrip all the way to the top and back.read more
