Trip to Europe

■ Matterhorn Glacier Paradise Weather

The most important thing on a trip to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise is the weather. If the Matterhorn is covered in clouds, not only will you not be able to see the Matterhorn reflected in the lake, but you are more likely to get altitude sickness on bad weather days. Check the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise webcam in the morning to make sure the top is clear before going up. If you press the "Real-Time Webcam" button at the bottom, you can see the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise real-time webcam.

■ Estimated travel time

This is not highly recommended unless you plan to ski. Because it is high above sea level, it is easy to get altitude sickness, and since it is a little farther from the Matterhorn, Gornergrat or Sunega is more recommended for sightseeing. If you're a skier, you can feel the charm enough to spend the whole day.
