A full day guided tour from Stresa to see the splendors of the Ossola Valley, the Simplon Pass and the Alps. Arriving in Zermatt on the rack and pinion railway, you are instantly surrounded by some of the most famous peaks in the Alps, including the Matterhorn.
In the morning we start our journey from Lake Maggiore and make our way through the Ossola Valley before climbing into the Alps over the Simplon Pass. The highest point of the pass is the Belvedere panoramic viewpoint and is where we make our comfort stop. From there you can see 360° views of the Swiss and Italian Alps. Descending the Simplon Pass towards Brig we continue our scenic journey along the Matter Valley towards Taesch and finally Zermatt.
Zermatt is pedestrianised so in the village of Taesch we leave the tour bus and take you up to Zermatt on the rack and pinion railway (included). Zermatt itself is at 5,315ft above sea level and is surrounded by some of the most famous peaks in the Alps: the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, the Gornergrat and no less than twelve “4,000’s” – peaks over 4,000m.
Zermatt is a typcal, picturesque Swiss Alpine village and you can spend your free time simply exploring the village, or enjoying a journey up to the Sunnegga plateau on the Mountain Metro (optional). Have a look around the Zermatlantis Matterhon Museum (optional) and don't forget to taste some of the local food! (meals are not included). All whilst enjoying views of one of the most well-known mountains in the Alps: the Matterhorn.
In the afternoon we retrace our journey back over the Simplon Pass (with comfort stop) and down towards Lake Maggiore.
