Everything about The Gornergrat totally explained
The
Gornergrat is a ridge of the
Pennine Alps, overlooking the
Gorner Glacier to the south. It is reached by the
Gornergratbahn rack railway from
Zermatt. The tower of the Kulm hotel at 3,089 m hosts the
Gornergrat Infrared Telescope.
It is located about three kilometers east of
Zermatt in the Swiss canton of
Valais. The Gornergrat is located between the Gornergletscher and
Findelgletscher and offers a view of more than 20 four-thousanders, including the Monte Rosa, the
Matterhorn and the
Lyskamm.
This is the last stop of the Gornergrat train, opened in 1898, which climbs almost 1500m through
Riffelalp and
Riffelberg. At the terminus (3,089 m above sea level) on the south-western tip of the ridge is a mountain hotel. The station forms part of the Zermatt ski area. From 1958 to 2007 there was a cable car from Gornergrat over the Hohtälli to the Zermatter Stockhorn which, until the construction of the Klein Matterhorn railway, was the highest mountain station in the world.
