Intro

The dreamscape connecting the charming town of Zermatt to Testa Grigia is here, and it's enchanting. Dive into a magical journey that not only defies boundaries between two picturesque countries but also raises the bar for alpine experiences.

Presenting the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing - the zenith of cable car adventures. This monumental marvel, the highest alpine cable car traverse, showcases the purest form of beauty, thrill, and luxury. With every inch traveled, feast your eyes on the majestic Matterhorn, cocooned within Europe's finest alpine panorama. It’s not just a trip; it's an aerial waltz between Italy and Switzerland's finest mountains. The idea was first dreamed up 100 years ago. And now it’s a reality that you can experience yourself.  

From the station Trockener Steg, winter enthusiasts can be whisked away to the Glacier Paradise in a mere nine minutes. What next? Hop onto the Glacier Ride II, unveiled in the summer of 2023, and in a flash, find yourself at Italy's Testa Grigia. And guess what? Whether you’re on skis or just in your trekking boots, this seamless accessible journey ensures everyone can bask in the Snow Xperience at Plateau Rosa. The clock’s challenge? Only four minutes! 

If you thought this experience can’t be topped, wait until you see the Crystal Ride cabins. Imagine floating amidst the clouds with thousands of Swarovski crystals shimmering above you. Every cabin, an epitome of luxury, invites you to sink into plush seats inspired by the finest car designs, all while the vast panorama unfolds beneath your feet. The expansive cabin sky promises a journey that's out of this world.
