Experience the alpine wonderland known as Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Meet your guide at your hotel and head to the cable car station. Travel to the highest cable car station in Europe, located at an elevation of about 12,739 feet. Along the way, you will switch cable cars a couple of times. As you soar over the scenic Schwarzsee region, enjoy splendid views of the landscape and the iconic Matterhorn. From the observation platform at the summit, take in 360-degree views of the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. Your guide will point out the 38 mountain peaks and 14 glaciers including Mont Blanc, believed to be the highest mountain in Europe. Next, explore the world’s highest glacier palace where you will find ice sculptures and glittering ice crystals, all set within a glacier cave. At the Cinema Lounge, located within the Breithorn Tunnel, learn about the local flora and fauna. There is also a restaurant here that offers regional and international cuisines as well as panoramic views of the Alps. When it is time to return, you could choose to take the cable car back down or hike part of the way with your guide.
