Free Time Day Trip to Matterhorn from Zermatt
Begin your adventure in the charming village of Zermatt and make your way to the gondola station. It's about a 20-minute walk from the train station, but you can also opt for an electric bus if you prefer.
Once at the gondola station, board the Matterhorn Express. This cable car will take you to Furi, where you'll transfer to another cable car heading to Trockener Steg. From there, the Matterhorn Glacier Ride will whisk you up to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, situated at an impressive altitude of 3,883 meters.
At the top, take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, with the iconic Matterhorn standing majestically before you. Explore the Glacier Palace, an enchanting ice cave filled with intricate sculptures (can be closed), and don't miss the viewing platform for some truly spectacular photo opportunities.
In the afternoon, embark on one of the scenic hikes available. The Matterhorn Glacier Trail is a great option for an easy, picturesque hike. Starting at Trockener Steg and ending at Schwarzsee, this 6.8 km (4.25 miles) downhill trail takes about 2–3 hours to complete. Along the way, you'll pass serene alpine lakes and enjoy close-up views of the Matterhorn.
For those seeking a more challenging adventure, the Hörnlihütte hike is ideal. This trail begins at Schwarzsee and leads to the Hörnlihütte, the base camp for Matterhorn climbers. The round trip takes approximately 3–4 hours.
After your hike, return to Schwarzsee and take the cable car back down to Zermatt.

Day5

Breakfast
Free time On the French Riviera, near the border with Italy, lies Nice. Nicknamed Nissa La Bella ("Nice the Beautiful"), it's a historic city famous for its artistic spirit, grand plazas, crescent-shaped pebble beaches, and the narrow streets of its colorful old town, Vieille Ville. Nice is a densely populated coastal metropolis (the seventh most populous city in France), which means there are secrets to discover and adventures to be had around every corner.

Thanks to the central location of your accommodation, you'll be able to enjoy this city on your own. You must visit sites like the Greek quarter (Nice was actually founded by the Ancient Greeks of the Massalia region in 350 BCE), and the Roman remains of an amphitheater and arena in the historic Cimiez neighborhood. This is also the location of two other notable landmarks: the opulent Excelsior Régina Palace, where Queen Victoria of England used to summer on the French Riviera, and the Musée Matisse, a museum showcasing the works of Nice's most famous painter, the expressionist master Henri Matisse.

Other highlights of this city are the Promenade des Anglais, Port Lympia, the aforementioned Vieille Ville, and the ornate St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral.

At the end of the day, you'll be back at your accommodation in Nice.
