The HIGHEST Station in Europe: ZERMATT Kleinmatterhorn Glacier Paradise SWITZERLAND

The REAL Top of Europe is not at the Jungfraujoch, it is in Zermatt at the Kleinmatterhorn. UP there, you will be on the highest altitude station up at 3890 m. Often, the Matterhorn is in the clouds, you may increase your chances to see it when heading up to higher altitudes like at the Gornergrat, Rothorn, Trockener Steg or the Kleinmatterhorn. At the latter station, you have the highest chances of seeing it. However, it is not possible to access the Kleinmatterhorn station every day. Depending on the weather, the gondola is operating, when there is too much wind or rain/snowfall, the access is not possible. From Zermatt village, it will take you roughly 45-60 minutes to reach the Kleinmatterhorn. Thus, make sure to take the first cabin in Zermatt latest by 1pm. It is best to go up there around 10 am, to ensure having enough time up at the Kleinmatterhorn. Everything there is already closing at 3pm, the last cabin down is at 3:30 pm. From Zermatt, you first will have to take a cabin ride to Fury at where you need to take a second gondola to access Trockener Steg. At this place, you will be quite close to the Matterhorn, you will feel it being very massive. At the Trockener Steg it’s often windy, this may though not necessarily mean that the gondola to the Kleinmatterhorn is closed. In only 1 hour, you head from 2000 meters to nearly 4000 meters. From The Kleinmatterhorn, you may enjoy a breathtaking panorama over the Matterhorn, Mont-Blanc, Mont-Fort and more. The big highlight awaits you down in the glacier paradise. This glacier cave is mandmade and full of carved ice skultpures. Many of these sculptures represent typical motifs of the canton of Valais. On your way down, you may also consider getting out at Fury and hike down to the village of Zermatt through the snow. It’s an easy and very enjoyable hike.
