Private Mt. Gornergrat and Zermatt Tour
Overview
Explore the Alpine village of Zermatt, learn about local mountaineering history.
Begin with pickup at your local hotel or the Zermatt railway station, then start a short walking tour through the picture-perfect town of Zermatt.
Ride the famous Gornergrat cog wheel train up to the best viewpoint of the Matterhorn. And enjoy sweeping views of the Alpine scenery during the 35-minute ride
If you wish you can hike down to the Riffelsee to take fantastic pictures of the Matterhorn.
You’ll have time to relax on the summit and learn about the surrounding landmarks, including the Monte Rosa Hut: originally a simple, stone structure for mountaineers, the new hut is ultra-modern and super efficient, with solar power and gleaming aluminum cladding.

Pete was absolutely amazing! He was so attentive to us. He made sure we didn't miss a thing. His knowledge of the ares is unparalleled. His pre-excurion communication texts helped eliminate the usual pre-excursion jitters. He did everything in his power to ensure we experienced the mountains in every way possible. Our lunch was exquisite. I highly recommend this private excursion. It is worth every penny. Be sure to ask for Pete!Luca is one of the best guide we ever had before, friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend him to my friends.

My family and enjoyed a delightful day with Peter, leaving from Zermatt we took the train to Gornergrat. Peter did a great job of tuning into our pace, limitations and interests. We enjoyed the awe inspiring views, took two lovely, short hikes and enjoyed an incredible meal at a locally run restaurant we would never have found on our own. It felt much more like visiting a friend in a place they love than a guided tour.We had many memorable experiences with the beautiful scenery and hiking. The most memorable thought was our guide, Petr who is also a professional photographer. He did way more than expected for a family of nine. We would hire him again without a second thought.

Marcello related both to me, an 80 year old grandfather, and my grandson, a 24 year old outdoor enthusiast. A wonderful experience.
