optional sightseeing tour. |

The internationally- renowned
resort village of Zermatt is spectacularly set below the Matterhorn.
Enjoy a fantastic optional ride on the Gornergrat Rack Railway,
which runs up the mountain above Zermatt, to Switzerland's
highest open-air train station at 3089 metres high, Gornergrat,
from where, weather permitting, there are superb views of
the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, the ‘pink mountain’. |
