You will notice the Gornergrat Observatory at the moment you reach Gornergrat station as The Gornergrat Observatory (Gornergrat Kulm Hotel Observatory) is a fascinating and unique spot located at the top of the Gornergrat, near Zermatt, Switzerland, at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,170 feet).
The Gornergrat Observatory is also a prime spot for visitors to enjoy panoramic views. The Gornergrat itself offers breathtaking vistas of the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Lyskamm, and several glaciers, including the Gorner Glacier. There are shops inside the Gornergrat Observatory.

Gornergrat, the best place to overlook the Matterhorn
Take the mountain cogwheel train in Zermatt and arrive at the Gornergrat viewing platform in about half an hour. It is a famous spot to admire the Matterhorn, the sacred mountain of Switzerland, which is 4,478 meters above sea level. Since the observation deck is about 3,100 meters above sea level, the temperature in August is still cool, and you can clearly see the snow and glaciers of the Alps.
The triangular chocolates I brought came in handy, and I pointed the packaging box at the Matterhorn to take a photo, which was quite interesting!
* The temperature on the observation deck is low and you may have difficulty breathing

About halfway up the road to the observation deck
You can find a photo zone for a certification shot at Gornergrat with the Matterhorn in the background.
The certification shot photo zones that you see at every travel destination during your trip to Switzerland
made it fun to collect photos.
When you reach the end, you can also see a small church.
There is an indoor exhibition hall at the top
There is a restroom and a souvenir shop inside.
You should visit a little early to see if they are open.

【Switzerland】Gornergrat Observatory Cafe
The Gornergrat Observatory probably doesn't play a big role in tourism. There is a cafe in the building and we asked staff if we could climb the tower and they replied that no the access was closed.
There is a charming church next to it, which really adds a lot of sacred atmosphere and aura due to its unexpected location. Inside people can light candles and pray, which is perfect for a short break.
