Switzerland - Highest Gondola & Cablecar in Europe - Zermatt to Klein Matterhorn - 3,883m

Video Description

The Klein Matterhorn is a peak of the Pennine Alps, overlooking Zermatt in the Swiss canton of Valais. At 3,883 metres (12,740 ft) above sea level, it is the highest place in Europe that can be reached by aerial tramway or gondola lift, as well as by any other means of transport. This YouTube video is a gondola and cablecar trip on the Matterhorn Express - filmed in 4K - from Zermatt station to Klein Matterhorn station. This aerial cableway journey comprises both the Gondola service from Zermatt to Trockener Steg (taking in intermediate stops at Furi; Aroleid; Schwarzsee and Furgg), and the 3S Cable Car service from Trockener Steg to Klein Matterhorn. Filmed in February 2022, at the height of the winter ski season, this cableway operates among several others to service the needs of skiers and winter tourists to ascend the awesome heights of the mountains which surround Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia in Italy. At Klein Matterhorn station ('Matterhorn Glacier Paradise') there are terrific views to be had on a clear day from the viewing platform at 3,883 metres - far reaching vistas of the Mont Blanc massif, Bernese Oberland, Aosta Valley, Breithorn; and the Matterhorn can also be seen.
