The highest crossing of the Alps by cable car

Matterhorn Alpine Crossing

The cable car journey around the Matterhorn offers breathtaking views of the mountain landscapes of Zermatt and Cervinia, taking guests on a fascinating journey through the diverse fauna, flora, and glacier scenery of both countries. The adventure begins as soon as you board: state-of-the-art cabins, the highest safety standards, and a panorama that is truly unrivalled. Along the route, numerous highlights await, including the crossing of the border between Switzerland and Italy at nearly 3500 metres above sea level.
Whether as a day trip from Zermatt to Cervinia or as part of a longer journey, the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing is an experience in a class of its own.
For added comfort during the journey, a luggage transport service is available twice daily, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery in a more relaxed and carefree way.

Cime Bianche Laghi

In the midst of a barren rocky landscape lies the Cime Bianche Laghi station. As the name suggests, there is more than just rock and ice here: a fascinating lakeland world awaits discovery.

recommendation

Just behind the cableway station are the impressive waters of the Cime Bianche lakes, overlooked in the background by the towering Matterhorn, or “Gran Becca” as it is known by the locals.

More information

The bike park is situated at the foot of the Matterhorn and is a real paradise of trails for freeriders and downhill bikers. The Italian park presents riders with some challenging routes. With its imposing scenery, it is almost unrivalled as a location for video and photography projects.
