Enjoy summer with Zermatt Bergbahnen AG

The Matterhorn Glacier Ride II has been in operation since 1 July 2023, connecting the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise with Testa Grigia. This innovative cable car connection completes the long-awaited direct link between Zermatt (Switzerland) and Cervinia (Italy) and opens up a whole host of new travel options in the heart of the Alps.

The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing is more than just a convenient border crossing at 3,458 metres above sea level – it offers a truly unique experience. The cable car ride around the iconic Matterhorn reveals the mountain’s many faces: from its famous triangular silhouette as you depart from Zermatt to its unmistakable charm on the Italian side.

Along the route, visitors can enjoy numerous attractions such as the viewing platform at Europe's highest cable car station, the world's highest glacier palace and the SnowXperience Park on the Plateau Rosa, located directly on the border between Switzerland and Italy.

The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing offers a unique opportunity to experience Italian flair and Swiss hospitality in a single day while marvelling at the region's breathtaking glacier and mountain landscape.
