Matterhorn - This was a fantastic adventure. The weather wasn't very good but Tony made the day very enjoyable and educational. He was very personal, had exceptional knowledge of the area's history and traditions. He went well out of his way to make the tour a fun time. We highly recommend this tour.

Top of the Mountain - The trip to the Matterhorn was magnificent. However, it started off bad. When I presented my voucher at the redemption point, the worker told me “you have been scammed, I see it all the time” I did find my correct voucher and all was well. She was going to gladly selll me another ticket for $250. Now who is the scammer?

Glacier paradise - We thoroughly enjoyed our cable car trip to Glacier paradise. We had great views on all 3 gondolas. Each went to a certain level during the ascent. It was cloudy once on top but the Ice Palace was fantastic. Loved the gorgeous ice sculptures.

Well worth it! - This is the best way to see the Alps, the Matterhorn and so much more. You can buy a ticket that takes you on to Cervinia, Italy, a small Italian ski resort town and come back. Just be sure to be back before the lifts close for the day. This is wayyyy better than the train ride to Gorgonot. Much, much better.

A must do - Absolutely incredible scenery. Great time. The views were outstanding. It is very high altitude so a few people were a bit short of breath and other were dizzy for a few minutes with the altitude. .
