Here are just of few of the many photos I took on our first ascent on the Gornergrat Railway in Zermatt.

The Gornergrat Railway, A Little Walk Down

Many people go to the top of the Gornergrat on the railway then walk down some or all of the way back to Zermatt. On our first visit we went to the top and walked down just to Riffelberg Station. Parts of the walk are quite steep but spare a thought for the serious walkers going up.

The Gornergrat Railway is possibly the number one thing to do when in Zermatt so we chose to do that first. The railway is a most amazing piece of technology climbing the steep incline of the Gornergrat. The Swiss do manage to get trains to do things nobody else can get them to do. A ride on The Gornergrat Railway to to top is most definitely a must.
