The Klein Matterhorn is a peak of the Pennine Alps, overlooking Zermatt in the Swiss canton of Valais. At 3,883 metres (12,740 ft) above sea level, it is the highest place in Europe that can be reached by aerial tramway or gondola lift, as well as by any other means of transport.
This RU-vid video is a gondola and cablecar trip on the Matterhorn Express - filmed in 4K - from Zermatt station to Klein Matterhorn station. This aerial cableway journey comprises both the Gondola service from Zermatt to Trockener Steg (taking in intermediate stops at Furi; Aroleid; Schwarzsee and Furgg), and the 3S Cable Car service from Trockener Steg to Klein Matterhorn.
Filmed in February 2022, at the height of the winter ski season, this cableway operates among several others to service the needs of skiers and winter tourists to ascend the awesome heights of the mountains which surround Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia in Italy.
At Klein Matterhorn station ('Matterhorn Glacier Paradise') there are terrific views to be had on a clear day from the viewing platform at 3,883 metres - far reaching vistas of the Mont Blanc massif, Bernese Oberland, Aosta Valley, Breithorn; and the Matterhorn can also be seen.

I took that cable car once and the conditions at the top were unbelievable, with 60mph winds and zero visibility. No chance of skiing down so we were all sent back down and the car closed. That is some serious altitude!

This does a great job at really showcasing the sheer size of some of the larger ski resorts in the alps. We have some large ski areas here in North America but nothing compares to this.

@adrianburgler7774 Год назад

And That's just one part you're seeing. There are two other parts to the resort on the left side at the very beginning (Rothorn) of the video and when the gondola arrives at its first station (Riffelberg/Gornergrat). And there are two other parts on the italian side (Cervinia & Valtournenche) you can reach from the very top.

@DrCrabfingers 2 года назад

Amazing...thank you so much...you have bought back the memories of my skiing holiday in Zermatt...that Gondola ride just goes on and on....you get to the top and you'd be lucky to not experience altitude sickness. That ride to the top is often cancelled due to high winds which are frequent there. But skiing back is incredible...you can ski right beside the Matterhorn...you look to your left and all you see is this majestic mountain...it is the best piste in Europe...It takes so long to get to the top and it is so quick to get to the bottom...so I always tried to stop frequently to take in the views, and also stop for a Weiss bier or Jaegertee and enjoy the descent....great video...The Swiss are great engineers!

@MrEuskalteleuskadi 2 года назад

Yeah. Best piste and best ski resort in the world I think.

@MR-zq5gt 2 года назад

Ya'll I rode this a few years ago (I was 16) . I am deathly afraid of heights and didn't realize this was the 'highest gondola in europe,' Either way, i was willing to do it because my dad and I were doing a father-daughter ski trip and he wanted to ski the Italian side so I wanted to go with him... Well, I was okay until we got over the little knoll at 30:32 and once we got over it you were just suspended over this expanse and ya'll I lost my shit! I was crying, shaking, blubbering in the most undignified fashion.. to make matters worse it was very windy that day so they had to stop the car multiple times for safety and so we were swinging back and forth in this wind and I thought I was going to die! Thankfully, my dad was very empathetic and he held me the whole time while I was blubbering in his ski jacket. I ended up braving this journey 4 times and forth journey I was even able to open my eyes to look out which is alot for me considering my fear of heights lol....

@giacomorapuzzi9866 2 года назад

They're not actually dead, most of the trees here are deciduous conifers, meaning they lose their needles in fall and grow them back in spring. Makes for quite the show in the fall. Pine beetles sound quite devastating, would be scary to have them here.

@johnnzperplexed2741 Год назад

Amazing place! What are the skill level options for skiing down?

@adrianburgler7774 11 месяцев назад

It's mostly intermediate slopes (red). The slopes are not very difficult, as in they are often very wide, and not insanely steep. What makes them more difficult is the height (it's more exhausting to ski above 3000 meters above sea level), the conditions (it can be very cold and windy) and the length of the slopes.

This cableway is mostly used by skiers in winter and hikers in summer to get up to the higher altitudes - Zermatt itself (which is tiny) has an electric bus service to get around during ski season

@pianistegolfeur 2 года назад

Fabuleux, inoui !!! Mais....d'une façon générale, en tant que simple spectateur de ces prises de vues de téléphériques, je ferai surtout le reproche que les cinéastes montrent trop l'aspect "technique" de l'installation au dépens d'une prise de vus qui néglige le(s) points(s) de vue que l'on pourrait avoir depuis les cabines. C'est un peu regrettable. On voit trop le parcours lui-même de la cabine et pas assez l'environnement que l'on pourrait avoir si l'on était un passager.

@xingzhang6540 8 месяцев назад

This gondola is ridiculously slow. They call it express, but it takes forever to move from bottom to the top. I spent more than 3 hours riding this ridiculous lift today. Should have gone to the other side of the resort. Won't recommend this gondola. Very slow.

Why isn't the other cable-car system to the left used??

@wilhelmgabel Год назад

Back in the day it was used for getting up to the mountain but now it has no use or maybe it transports food to the mountain my best guess

@hcdhcdhcd41 Год назад

It's sometimes used during off-season and if this cable-car maintenance work. But the smaller continuous cabins just get more people away than a tramway.
