Jungfraujoch or Gornergrat or Matterhorn Glacier Paradise or combo

Posted by on

Hi, all. Getting into Zermatt late afternoon June 20. Looking at Gornergrat Rail and/or Matterhorn Glacier Paradise on the 21st, then on to Grindelwald the following day with a possible trip to Jungfraujoch. Watching vids of Jungfraujoch, it looks like a touristy zoo at the top and I'm now leaning towards MGP instead, especially since we'd likely hit Jungfraujoch in early afternoon on the 22nd (mtn weather and all.)

Any opinions? Thanks!

Gornergrat is a touristy zoo too :) All the places in typical tourist destinations in Switzerland where viewpoints are gotten to without hiking/effort are touristy zoos. However, aside from the crowd issue - Jungfraujoch's main attraction is seeing the Aletsch Glacier, which is unique (different than the other places you mentioned) but unless I had 4+ days in the area, there are things I'd recommend doing before doing that.
