My mom and I were the only two people who had the “skip the line” ticket. You’ve the priority entrance to board the train and make sure to sit on the “right” side of the train for the gorgeous view of Matterhorn and Zermatt village. We didn’t know and sat on the wrong side! When coming down, you can sit on the same side if you want the same view. There is not much to see on the left side of the train. Also, you have free access to photo point. It took a while for people to figure out how to redeem the photo online. Make sure you choose the “4 part” and enter your ticket number to redeem it. It’s fun and beautiful. There will be a number of skiers with you on this train.

Bought the ticket online, exchanged the voucher with Tickets from Zermatter shop, and had a great time going up to the mountains.. there was a line but moved very quickly.. what a majestic view and experience .. it’s a must do for everyone..

A surprisingly easy trip, loved the new cable car system, this is an experience not to be missed. Just prepare for the cold, wear sensible shoes, clothing and enjoy one of the wonders of the world.

The Eiger express was awesome! Dont forget to take a video. Going up the snowy scenery was spectacular but going down seeimg the lights from the houses was equallt mesmerizing!

Amazing views and overall pretty good infrastructure
