Start your tour by meeting your tourguide in the lobby of your hotel in Zermatt. Together you will get to the train station and board the local train in direction of ??Stalden??. Enjoy the ride through the ??Matterhorn??-valley within 50 minutes. At the station of Stalden, you change to one of the typical Swiss bus connections: the yellow post bus. The bus will take you in 30 minutes into the ??Saas??-valley, where you will get off in ??Saas Grund??, one of the holiday resorts in the ??Saas??-area. Closed to the bus stop, you will board together with your tourguide one of the gondolas. The gondola will climb during 30 minutes through a changing landscape of meadows, small rivers, rocks and mountains to ??Hohsaas??. During your ride you will have a great view to the glacier already. Once arrived on top, there are several options. Tell your tourguide your preferences:
-50 minutes walk around with information to the 18 fourthousand-metre peaks
-some steps away to get close to the glacier
-relax on the terrace and enjoy the view
You will have the choice to have lunch on top at ??Hohsaas?? (at your own costs) or to leave the peak and travel to the middle station ??Kreuzboden??. There you will find another restaurant with a terrace, a playground for children, a lovely walking trail to get to the small lake and many other options. Most probably, your tourguide will take you to the small lake and you will enjoy the silence and the panorama from a relaxing chair.
Your return travel starts with the gondola ride from ??Kreuzboden?? back to ??Saas Grund??. Maybe you want to have a small walk around through the small village ?? this is no problem. Whenever you are ready, your tourguide will take you to the bus stop, where you board the yellow post bus again. The bus takes you to ??Stalden??, where you change on the ??Matterhorn?? train line again and get back to Zermatt. Your tour ends, when you arrive in Zermatt.
