Matterhorn Alpine Crossing Celebrating 1 Year Anniversary
Matterhorn Alpine Crossing Celebrating 1 Year Anniversary
Published : 21-Jun-2024 06:17
The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing series of gondolas and cable cars that connects Zermatt in Switzerland and Cervinia in Italy is coming up to the anniversary of its first full year of operations.
Lift companies Cervino SpA and Zermatt Bergbahnen have announced lift passes will be half price for anyone making some or all of the crossing on anniversary day, Sunday June 30th, 2024.
In addition, Italian snacks and drinks will be available in the Testa Grigia cable car station on the Sunday.
The Matterhorn Alpine Crossing finally opened on June 30, 2023 with the ceremonial opening of the Matterhorn Glacier Ride II cable car between the Klein Matterhorn and Testa Grigia on the Italian border. Construction had been delayed by the pandemic and subsequent supply chain issues.
As well as making it possible for pedestrians including people in wheelchairs or pushing buggies to cross the border in the series of cabin lifts, the opening of the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing has led Cervinia to begin operating year-round access to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise summer ski area on the Swiss side of the border, as Zermatt already did. Previously, although open for summer skiing, Cervinia closed its access to the ski area in spring and autumn shoulder seasons.
