As a railroader, it's great for this saw. After 7 times I'm getting used to being a tourist but shit me anyway. The only reason why I'm here is because I want to have a tourism charter :) Greetings from Zurich

For the high price I wasn't disappointed. It's easy to get a parking space by car. Practically, if you book in advance you get a QR code and can go straight to the gondola, which takes about 10 minutes. Then you have to change to a train that takes another 25 minutes up. In any case, it is well planned that you can change straight away. The train stops once at a viewing point where you have 5 minutes to take pictures, which is no longer possible on the way back. The trains are very clean and run on time, unlike Deutsche Bahn. There is also WiFi which works well on the mountain. The best thing is the view at 3500 meters and there is a lot to look at. The tour takes about 1.30 hours to take a look at everything. The Ice Palace is definitely worth it. There are also shops and a Lindt store and a few restaurants. I can only recommend it was a great experience.
