Try Gornergrat

The tallest open-air rack train in Europe is one of a few unique adventures in Zermatt. The Gornergrat Bahn shuttles up to the Gornergrat observation point, slightly over 3,000 meters above sea level, through an alpine wilderness with 29 peaks rising above 4,000 meters. It may be difficult to imagine, but the railway was built in 1896 and was the world's first completely electrified rack line.

The train takes 33 minutes to travel through ravines through stone pine and larch woodland. Finally, you'll arrive at the platform, which is located in the heart of a small tourist development and has views that are beyond description. The Matterhorn is difficult to overlook, but you can also see the Dufourspitze, Switzerland's highest peak at 4,634 meters, and the Gorner Glacier, the second-largest in the Alps.
