Matterhorn Glacier Paradise

Definitely pack your own snacks and drinks. The restaurants up there can be super pricey, I learned this the hard way when I spent way too much on a sandwich.

I recommend checking the weather forecast closely before visiting. I had a blast, but two of my friends didn't see anything due to fog, so plan accordingly!

I suggest getting the early gondola at 8:00 AM. The views are breathtaking and you’ll avoid the crowds before they flock in around noon.

If you're planning to snowboard or ski, rent your gear in Zermatt instead of up on the mountain. It’ll save you some cash and keep you from lugging it around.
The Matterhorn-Switzerland

I think it's worth trying the local restaurants but watch out for tourist traps! I had a overpriced meal that didn't live up to the hype; ask locals for spots they recommend

My advice is to buy the Zermatt Mountain Ticket online. It saves you some bucks and time at the ticket booth, and you can focus more on enjoying the trams!

If you're planning on hiking, bring plenty of water and snacks. I ran out of energy on my first hike, and it dampened the experience a little. Staying fueled is key!

I suggest catching the sunrise at around 6:00 AM. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there are fewer crowds, plus it makes for some great photos.
