Experience an unforgettable journey with Matterhorn views from the base station, via “Trockener Steg” at 2’939 metres (9’642 ft.), to the Matterhorn glacier paradise.
The station at Trockener Steg, has a very special meaning for visitors to the Matterhorn paradise. It is a pivotal point where different worlds meet and mingle. In summer the ski pistes end there and the hiking trails begin. Skiers and hikers cross paths. And the view reaches from Mattertal to the heights of the Matterhorn.

This point of your journey to the peak also hosts an Info Cube (free of charge) where you can find the newest information to ongoing projects. The current exhibition provides close insights into the “Alpine Crossing” – the new cable car connection opening in 2021, which will connect the Matterhorn Destination with Italy.
