Zermatt — Gornergrat, MGB station

Zermatt - Gornergrat - gare MGB

🇨🇭 Valais · Switzerland — Altitude 3110 m

Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDCity

This live camera watches the Gornergrat railway station above Zermatt, at roughly 3,100 metres in the Valais Alps. It is a useful way to check the mountain conditions before boarding the cogwheel train or planning a day on the heights.

A high station above Zermatt

Zermatt sits in the Mattertal at the foot of the Matterhorn, and the Gornergrat rises above it on a cogwheel railway that has run since the early twentieth century. The station stands on an exposed ridge where the air is thin and the views open out over glaciers and some of the highest peaks in the Alps. Weather can change quickly up here, with cloud arriving from the valley in a short time.

What to watch and when

The view depends on the cloud and the light, so the picture can range from clear sunshine on the snowfields to a white wall of mist. Early mornings often bring the clearest skies before clouds build up in the afternoon. In winter the station area is snowbound and the slopes are busy with skiers, while summer shows green meadows and walkers on the trails.

Practical notes for a visit

Summer is the main season for hiking, with the snow largely gone from lower paths, while winter suits skiing and snowshoeing. Temperatures at this altitude stay low even in summer, so warm layers are sensible. Nearby cameras on the same mountain, including the Riffelberg and Hohtälli views, show how conditions change along the route.
