The new Matterhorn Glacier Ride II began operation on July 1, 2023. The new cableway 3S takes the passengers from the Klein Matterhorn mountain station to the valley station of Testa Grigia in Italy, so that one can cross the border within the Alps – the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing.
Matterhorn Glacier Ride II – Alpine Crossing
Matterhorn Glacier Ride II
The realization of the world’s highest 3S cableway to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise was only the first step towards an even greater vision: a continuous cableway connection between Zermatt and Italy.
This alpine crossing will be possible due to the help of the identical 3S cableway connecting Testa Grigia with the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Since July 1, 2023, one will be able to conquer the highest alpine crossing with a view of the Matterhorn from Zermatt to Cervinia or vice versa without wetting your feet.
The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing generation project will bring the two destinations of Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia even closer together.
The new 3S cable car Matterhorn Glacier Ride II runs from the Klein Matterhorn mountain station at 3,883 meters above sea level to the Testa Grigia valley station at 3,458 meters above sea level. For the first time, visitors can travel from Italy to Switzerland and vice versa not only on skis and snowboards, but also on foot. This new installation closes the last gap between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia and makes the long-standing vision of the highest cable car crossing in the Alps a reality.
From 2024, luggage transport will be offered, making the journey across the Alps even easier and more carefree. Various activities await visitors on the mountain peaks, such as the SnowXperience Plateau Rosa adventure world around the Testa Grigia valley station or the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at the Klein Matterhorn mountain station.
