Brief Itinerary
Grab sandwiches, pastries, juice, and bottled water to keep kids happy before excursions. Use a bakery for a quick sit-down breakfast and take-away snacks.
45m
Board the Gornergrat Bahn at Zermatt for a spectacular, comfortable ride to the Gornergrat viewpoint. Spend time at the summit terrace, visit the small café/toilets and take family photos with the Matterhorn backdrop. Keep the walk short and stroller-friendly around the station.
3h
Return to village for a relaxed lunch with kid-friendly choices (pasta, soups, grilled items) and space for stroller parking.
1h
A compact museum perfect for curious children — interactive displays about the mountain, local history, and climbing stories. Ideal for 4+ but interesting for toddlers if taken briefly.
1h 30m
Easy pedestrian stroll through Bahnhofstrasse to the church square (St. Mauritius) — short grassy spots for kids to run and a calm end to the day.
