Hotels near Gorner Ridge, Zermatt

Built way back in 1898, the Gornergrat railway is still Europe’s highest open-air railway – and the only route up this 3,000-metre high ridge. As the train gradually chugs its way to the summit, you can admire dramatic backdrops of rocky ravines and imperious snow-capped mountains before testing your ski skills on the pistes of Rotenboden.
