raverse the Alps in the most dramatic way—aboard the world’s highest 3S cableway. Zermatt and Cervinia, two world-class ski resort towns, were finally connected in July 2023 after more than four years of extreme-altitude construction by a team of daring mountaineers. The crossing connected the two towns in as little as 90 minutes. Climb alongside the iconic Matterhorn in your stylish Pininfarina-designed panoramic car as you plunge 7,400 feet from Zermatt, into the clouds, and hover 650 feet above Theodul Glacier. The journey begins at the highest mountain station in Europe, Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, at 12,739 feet. From there, you’ll quickly descend to the recently finished Testa Grigia mountain station, at 11,345 feet, where you can experience snowy Italy. After taking a photo that spans both nations, head south to Cervinia in the Aosta Valley for a memorable souvenir. At high altitudes, ski season never ends; the Zermatt-Cervinia ski region is one of the world’s largest with 224 miles of routes. For an additional 10 Swiss francs ($11 USD), you have the option to upgrade your ticket to the “Crystal Ride” and have an absolutely unforgettable experience peering down through a dizzying glass floor in one of the dazzling cabins.About The Author
