Private Mt. Gornergrat and Zermatt Tour

I had an unforgettable day in Zermatt thanks to my incredible private guide, Ivana Parchuc. She reached out before my arrival to introduce herself and confirm every detail, which meant so much to me as a solo traveler. Ivana went above and beyond from the start — even securing a last‑minute tandem paraglide experience that became one of the highlights of my entire trip. On the day of our hike, she arrived early, fully prepared, and handled all train and entrance tickets so I could simply enjoy the journey. We took the Gornergrat cogwheel train to breathtaking 360° alpine views, then hiked through a stunning nature reserve where the Matterhorn reflected perfectly in crystal‑clear lakes. Ivana shared rich history about Zermatt, the canton, local wildlife, and even brought books to show photos of the animals and flowers we encountered. She gave me all the time I needed to soak in the scenery, took beautiful photos of me, checked in often, and made sure I felt comfortable and unrushed. Our peaceful picnic overlooking the Matterhorn was unforgettable — and the paraglide that followed was pure magic. Afterward, Ivana continued guiding me through Zermatt’s old and new town, sharing stories and history that brought the village to life. Ivana delivered the most epic, seamless, joy‑filled day I could have imagined. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made this experience extraordinary. I would recommend her 100/10 — truly a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ guide. Thank you, Ivana! I will forever remember you!

Pete was phenomenal! He contacted us the day before our hike to confirm the plan for the day and ensure we had all the details including a link for the local weather forecast. He met us at our hotel the next morning right on time and we immediately felt comfortable with him. We walked to the cog train and boarded for the trip to Gornergrat. Once on top, we quickly learned that Pete has a wealth of knowledge of the area and its history. He guided us through breathtaking scenery and helped us capture some absolutely stunning pictures (he has a photographer’s eye). Throughout our hike, he kept us informed, engaged in delightful conversation, and kept us well nourished with some delicious home made chocolate he brought for the hike. We cannot say enough great things about Pete. He definitely helped make it an absolutely memorable day! Thanks Pete!

My wife and I had a terrific experience with Jack Jennings on a nearly full-day Gornergrat hiking and Alpine sightseeing tour. The day featured breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, the iconic Matterhorn, and several historic sites and buildings around Zermatt. After exploring Gornergrat, we made our way back toward Zermatt with a series of well-chosen stops along the railway for spectacular viewpoints and photo opportunities. We also enjoyed an easy hike through beautiful forests and countryside, allowing us to experience the area at a relaxed pace. Jack was exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive to our interests and abilities, and skilled at tailoring the day to make it both enjoyable and memorable. Beyond being a highly qualified guide, he was simply great company—friendly, engaging, and someone you genuinely enjoy spending a day with. We would highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a first-rate guide in the Zermatt area.

Jack Jennings is an outstanding guide. He's very personable and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Switzerland and Zermatt. We had a somewhat challenging hike, but he paced it perfectly to suit our senior legs. Great tour, great guide, great day on the mountain with him.

We had Jack Jennings as our tour guide and what a wonderful day we had. Jack is so knowledgeable about the area and can answer any questions you have. The hiking was amazing and he was very conscious of exertion levels making sure we were comfortable with the level of activity and took frequent water breaks. We are finally done with our tour through switzerland and this tour and our day with Jack is the highlight of the trip!

Great experience on this tour. Our guide, Jack, knew exactly where to go and what to do to navigate around the crowds. He also took us to some prime picture spots that only a local would know. We were impressed by his knowledge of the sites and highly recommend doing this tour with a guide.

Excellent trip with our guide Pete. Went to the top of the mountain with excellent views, the zoom theater and enjoyed a 90 hike with spectacular views. Enjoyed a wonderful lunch over looking Materhorn and finished our experience with a tour of Zermott. Pete was extremely knowledgeable in all details around Switzerland, the alps, skiing etc. would highly recommend this experience and specifically with Pete.

What an amazing adventure. David was our guide for the day. We rode the train to the top of Mt Gourgerat and spent time taking pictures and a hot chocolate at the lodge. We then took the train back down the mountain and got off and took a long hike back to Zermatt. David our guide was informative and a pleasure to listen to as he provided us with the history of the region and its chalet architecture. Thank you David for a wonderful and amazing adventure today!

We booked through Viator and we were not disappointed. David was our guide and very knowledgeable about the area. He lives and works in the Zermatt area and provide so many insights. Loved the train ride, amazing views on a beautiful clear day and we hiked down from the last train stop in to town to truly see, smell and experience Zermatt.

My Mountains organized a fabulous Swiss adventure. This was our first trip to Switzerland, and they combined sightseeing, cultural experiences, and skiing. Our trip was everything we hoped it would be. They put together an all inclusive package with excellent guides, beautiful accommodations, and wonderful travel arrangements. The trip began by being greeted at the Zurich airport by Leo, who was very generous with his time, getting us oriented to all things Swiss, and getting us on our train to Lucern. As an added bonus, it was Carnival, in Lucern. If you are traveling in March to Lucern, this is a spectacle not to be missed. The Golden Pass rail trip from Lucern to Montreux was another unexpected highlight. Our trip was seamless, relaxing, and very enjoyable. Many thanks to our friends at My Mountains.
