No discounts are available for young people.

Children aged at least 6 and under 16 pay 50% if a parent or adult purchases a full-price ticket and does not have an STS pass.

No, there is no discount for senior citizens for the Gornergrat ticket.

When ordering, you must enter a specific date on our website on which you would like to go on the excursion. You are therefore bound by this date and cannot change it flexibly.

Tickets will only be fully refunded if you have taken out the FLEX CANCELLATION OPTION and if they are cancelled at least 1 day before travel. You can add the FLEX CANCELLATION OPTION for payment protection in the final step of the checkout process before payment.

If you have not taken out the Flex Cancellation Option, a cancellation fee of CHF 30 will be charged, and a fee of CHF 60 will apply if the cancellation is made between 1 and 3 days prior to travel. You can find more information about our cancellation policy here.

If you would like to cancel your tickets, please use our contact form so that our team can deal with your request.

Once the purchase is complete, you will receive an e-ticket by e-mail. This e-ticket is already a valid ticket. E-tickets are personal and non-transferable. They are only valid in conjunction with a valid passport or ID card. The details on the passport or ID card must match the details on the e-ticket. You can present the e-ticket directly on your smartphone or tablet so that the QR code can be scanned by the ticket inspector. You can also save the e-ticket in the wallet on your mobile device. Alternatively, you can print out the ticket on white paper in its original size and present it for inspection.

Ride on the cogwheel railway from Zermatt to the Gornergrat and back, ZOOOM the Matterhorn interactive exhibition.

Seat reservations are possible with priority boarding. This allows you to board the train 3 minutes before the other passengers and select your preferred seat. The surcharge for priority boarding costs CHF 7 per person and must be purchased from the Gornergrat railway. Once a seat has been reserved, you can no longer change or cancel it. For further information, please contact the railway company.

The cogwheel railway from Zermatt to the Gornergrat alone takes about 40 minutes each way. When on the mountain, the weather dictates whether you can plan a hike (short or long). Another highlight is the new multimedia exhibition ZOOOM the Matterhorn, where you can experience the surrounding Alpine panorama virtually in three activities. You can also take advantage of the food and drink on offer in the restaurant while enjoying the panoramic view. You also have the option of getting off at one of the stops and catching a later train.

The Gornergrat railway is open all year round except from 03.11.-09.11.2025. Trains run from early morning until after sunset. Please refer to the applicable timetable for the exact departure times.
