ZERMATT: Gornergrat VS Matterhorn Glacier Paradise...WHICH IS BETTER?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Hi GUYS! On this episode on the Grand Tour of Switzerland we are comparing two famous mountain excursions in Zermatt: The Klein Matterhorn (or the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise) and the Gornergrat. Follow me as I bring you up to the Klein Matterhorn on the magical Crystal Ride, and take in the incredible scenes of 38 mountain peaks above 4,000 metres and with a unique southern view of the Matterhorn!
In Gornergrat, we have a different activities awaiting: starting from a ride onthe chugging Gornergratbahn up to the Gornergrat for the most classic view of the Toblerone mountain. We'll also visit the Zooom Matterhorn musuem, do some fun winter tobogganing together from Rotenboden to Riffelalp, and have fondue lunch with an epic view!
Finally, wrapping up with a visit to the barn to say hi to the cuddly wooly black nose-sheep, and watching a beautiful sunrise at the Murini viewpoint :.
Check out my blog itinerary too for a more detailed comparison guide of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and the Gornergrat!

Thank you! Please consider subscribing to support the channel!
The view is insane 😍
IKR!!!
Thanks for the helpful commentary and great views. A suggestion for you to let viewers know which month you visited for each place so we know what to expect from the scenery. Thanks!
Noted! Thank you for the suggestion ❤
Must watch for anyone go wants visit Matterhorn
enjoying your vids! keep it up! :)
Thank you!!!
Great
Your vlogs are sooo helpful olivia! Thank youuuu!! Have you tried the hot air balloon festival in Chateau d'Oex? I'm dreaming of going there!🥰😄
I’ve been there before but the festival is extremely weather dependent, sometimes the balloons might not fly due to strong winds!
@@Olliechinny thank you very much for this tip, Olivia! Looking forward to more vlogs from you😄🥰
i think gornergrat is the way to go 🤩🤩🤩😍😍🥳🥳
I agree! Great video and comparison. ❤
Hi, enjoyed the video thoroughly! May I know if the toboggan run at Rotenboden is open in early December?
A lot depends on the snow conditions so although technically yes, they may also still close it if there’s not enough snow. Always best to check on the day itself.
Glad you enjoyed the video and please subscribe to support the channel!
Supreme suitcase ❤
Peeerfect!!
Hello, the Swiss Pass gives a discount on some tours, for example for the Gornergrat, how do I buy the Ticket for this mountain and use the Pass to pay less? If I leave to buy there I run the risk of not getting a place? Thank you!
Thanks Olivia for this content, Now we are enlightened on which way to take. Would you recommend using Timberland Boots for snow?
Yes, absolutely, I wear that personally!
Thanks Ollie! i enjoyed your video. Can you do both Glacier paradise and Gornergrat in one day?
It is possible but i don’t advise it Cus it is not worth the money. would be too rushed (especially in winter)when the sun sets by 5pm and ur time is short! Between the two, I will go with Gornergrat as it has a more classic view.
@@Olliechinny Thanks so much Ollie! We appreciate your feedback. Have a good day!
For example if i go to Zermatt and buy the 4-Day Ticket Pass (Youth) and combined with the Peak2Peak ticket for Gronegrat and Glacier Paradise on same day, how can I use both of them in same time?
Hi Ollie, thanks for this amazing video..
Can you tell is gornergrat always covered in snow year round? as i plan my trip to Zermatt in 9th October..
Or we should go to Klein Matterhorn to experience snow if we're going there in mid October? Thank you 😊
There is unlikely to be much snow in October. If you want somewhere with guaranteed snow it will be the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise or Jungfraujoch
the paragliding simulator looks so fun omggg
I thought so too! :-) *can't believe that they even have a simulator.*
Thanks for this video. What month was this travel to Zermatt? We plan to go visit Zermatt in October this year. Thank you in advance for any information.
This was filmed in end March early April!
Tq for the lovely vidoe..btw, do you know if we can play snowtubing either in at glacier paradise or gornegrat. (We will visiting zermatt in mid of September). Tq
You can do that at Jungfraujoch
Awesome Olivia❤ ..super nice and informative sharing as usual. Can i check if its required to get the tickets in advance or can get it when we are there? Many thanks❤
You can get it when u are there just before boarding at the train station :) better also to check the weather first before buying
@@Olliechinny many thanks! 🥰
We are going in Late June 2024. Not skiing obviously so is one recommended over the other at that time of year?
Hello Ollie, we planning we trip to switzerland and will be staying at zermatt for 2 nights from 17-19 oct. Been watching a lot of your videos for useful tips and sharing, very informative. Can i check with you on something regarding matterhorn glacier paradise vs Gornergrat. Because we only have one full day in zermatt on 18 Oct, do you recommend we dedicate that full day for glacier paradise or Gornergrat? Which one will need more time if we are taking it slow and easy, enjoying the scenery the view etc. Then we will do the other one the following day before we leave the city around late afternoon.
Please book a consultation with me: www.Buymeacoffee.com/olliechinny and I can answer all ur trip related questions!
@@Olliechinny
I really like the style of your vlog :) Thanks for sharing. I really want to visit the Matterhorn but my plans changed and my time in Switzerland needed to but cut short.. :( now I do not think is the best time of year to go? + I do not hold any kind of passes at the moment and will be leaving in 2 weeks. Hopefully, I can come back next year somehow...
If you have no travel passes, it can quite expensive to travel up to the Gornergrat on full price. Consider other free activities like Christmas markets and autumn hikes!
Also, do support with a subscribe!
Hi, we are visitng in june. Unfortunately, rhe website says we cannot buy peak to peak pass in june. How did you guys magae that?
Thanks Ollie! This is the kind of content we wish to see more :)
May I ask how long was the train journey to Gornergrat?
Thank you!The train journey from Zermatt to Gornergrat takes half an hour
Hai Sister, did u go there in spring this year? As I will go there this autumn, just want to know to bring the "winter" jacket or not as I am from tropical country 😁 thank you in advance
Hi, I went in spring in April. For autumn, it will be slightly chilly so I recommend you to bring either a windbreaker or a winter jacket suited for 10-18 degrees.
Hi Ollie ,
Will the toboggan slide be available in april end somewhere around 28 April .
Pls let me know !
Will be helpful . Thank you
Unfortunately not! It will be spring time by then and no snow for sledding.
ohhh one questions, where did you have that fondeu with a view? tnks
Its at Riffelhaus 1853, at Riffelberg station!
Is the Standard fare rail Ticket from Zermatt to Gonergrat inclusive of the Zooom the Matterhorn and Toboggan run at Rotenboden? Or these activities would need to be purchased separately?
Zoom is included but the toboggan run is not
Hi Ollie, is the toboggan slide included in the Gornegrate ticket price? And is the Gornegrate open all year round?
It is open all year round. And No; u have to pay separately for the tobbagan slide
www.gornergrat.ch/en/stories/sledding
@@Olliechinnywhat is the price of tobogaan slide per person ?
Nice video, very informative! 😍 Did you just bought the toboggan run tickets from there itself? Or should we book in advance? And is there any price difference?
You can buy it on the day itself, there is no price difference :)
@@Olliechinny Hi can you advise how many times can we play toboggan run ?
hello Olivia it is a very interesting trip. which month have you been in video?
This was done in April 2022!
Thank for your respond. How was the weather there normally how many degree Celsius?
Hi Ollie, did you book the train ticket in advance via SBB? Thanks for your reply in adv.😊
I did not buy the ticket as it was a media trip.
u can buy it from SBB app. people normally buy it online or at the station but SBB is the most straightforward way!
May i know where you book the barn tour to see the sheeps? do u have to stay in their hotels to join them?
You can make a booking here: www.julen.ch/en/events/visit-sheep-barn/
You do not have to stay at their hotel!
Hi Olivia!
If I would like to visit Grindelwald and Zermatt over a few days (3-4 days), where will be a good place to stay for a base to travel to and fro? :)
Grindelwald and Zermatt are in two different cantons. There is no one particular “BASE” for u to visit both. you should transfer from one to another. If u do it as a daytrip, u waste a lot of travel time in a day
Thanks Olivia!
Where would you recommend staying that is budget friendly for couple for Zermatt and Grindelwald? :)
Hi , possible to share how can I visit the black sheep barn ? Pls advise . Thank you
Book here: www.julen.ch/en/tradition-julen/sheep/
What time did the sunrise at the murine viewpoint? :)
It was 7am but that was during spring time. The season and time has changed so it depends when you go. Check the weather app
Hi, Is Toboggan run included in Ticket to Gornergrat? did you reserve table at Riffelhause? I'm going to Zermatt in April too, but i think i only do Gornergrat.
Toboggan run is not included. I did not reserve a table.
@@Olliechinny so you buy the Snowfun pass right? and you didn't buy it in advance because it depens on weather that day?
Matterhorn , Gornergrat and Black Nose Sheep on 1 single day? What time did you start and end?
No, this was done over two days. We stayed overnight in Zermatt.
Did you take the slide from Rotendoden station to riffelhaus restaurant?
How did u come back to Rotendoden station.climb back with the slide?
You need to buy the sledding pass in order to return back to the same statin eg Rotenboden. Otherwise; with the return ticket, you only can enter each station stop once
@@Olliechinny thanks for reply dear..
Well as u said,we can just stop once at station,i have a doubt.
-So we are taking train from Zermatt to gornergrat,
-I will get down at Rotendoden and walk to see Riffelsse lake.9am
(Cannot visit igloo hotel as it opens 10)
-walk to Rotendoden station and board gornergrat train again to go observation platform.
***This is possible right? regarding getting down at station and boarding to go back gornergrat?
-With return tickets,i was planning to get down Rotendoden again and walk to igloo hotel.
And then back to Zermatt from Rotenboden station ..
Is this possible?Like getting down to Rotendoden again but on return tickets.
And taking back train to Zermatt
I already booked return tickets.
Pls advise
Nice video, so which you like? Gornergrat or the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise?
Gornergrat!
@@Olliechinny that's our plan and we thought of so. Thanks
Hi…what month is when you going? I’ll visit zermatt on July, should I bring a jacket for winter?
Hmm, July should be warm, you don’t need the full on winter jacket. Maybe just a windbreaker
Even on Glacier Paradise and Jungfraouch, is it enough only windbreaker jacket?
Gornergrat needs reservation?
Seat reservation needed for the gornergrat train?
No need!
Hi, do you remember how much was the toboggan cost?
Check here for sledding pass prices: www.gornergrat.ch/en/stories/sledding?.ch&
@@Olliechinny thanks!!
What camera do you use
iPhone!
Hi, is the murini view point is need to hiking to the top? And what time can check when sunrise? Thank you
Hi, you can check out details on my Instagram stories on Zermatt! @olliechinny I show how to reach the viewpoint. You can start going there from 6am, the sunrise should be about 6.50am.
Great review….think could do without the music drowns you out. Beautiful! Thanks.🥰💥
I have a question. Matterhorn has an altitude of 4478 m while Jungfraujoch has an altitude of 4158m. Then how is jungfraujoch the highest point of Europe ? Is it not Matterhorn then ? Can you clarify
Jungfraujoch is NOT the highest point of Europe (that title belongs to the Dom). Jungfraujoch is the highest TRAIN STATION in Europe. They just marketed it very well that’s all.
@@Olliechinny mont blanc
When you did this video? On Winter?
This was in early spring, April 2022!
Hi! I’m going in July/August, can I find snow in that period too?
You forgot Ubterrothorn !!!
քʀօʍօֆʍ 🎶
Take a lesson and learn to ski!
I have taken lessons twice already but I’m still not a fan of it….
Is Glacier Paradise or Gornergrat better ?
