It is a long day but very...

It is a long day but very worth it! Pack warmer clothes for at the top of the Matterhorn. The scenery is unbelievable

Worth the Time

The trip is amazing. The views on the ride there are only topped by the view from the top of the Matterhorn. Regardless of the temperature when you leave Vienna, dress for cold. You will be walking through a glacier. Glaciers are made of ice. You will also be nearly 13,000 feet above sea level. It is cold up there. Also, identification was lost and the local tour company made sure that we got it back, when we thought we would never see it again.
