Other options around the village are: - Visiting the Matterhorn Museum - A helicopter flight over Matterhorn - you can also take the Matterhorn Express Gondola in order to reach one of the highest viewpoints in Europe - And there is a (slowly disappearing) glacier that you can visit. Rail and cable-car facilities have also been built to make some of the summits in the area more accessible. |
