Take the Gornergrat Bahn, Europe’s highest open-air cog railway, from Zermatt station to the summit of the Gornergrat. The 33 minute ride to the top offers stunning panoramas of the Alps and the valley below, with skiers racing by on the slopes. The railway operates 365 days a year. Surprisingly, there is a hotel at the top (10,285 ft).
