点评:We had a fantastic experience during our visit to Glacier Paradise. The base station is a bit far from Zermatt’s train station. You can walk it, or it’s easier to just take one of the free shuttle buses that run in Zermatt. Once there, you will take a cable car up; initially it’s a small cable car before transferring to a larger one that takes you up to Glacier Paradise. There are stops along the way that you can disembark as long as you continue in the same direction. I would recommend stopping at least at Schwarzsee and Trockner Stag. Schwarzsee has very nice views of the Matterhorn. Trockner Stag has much larger facilities including retail, dining and free toilets.
Once at Glacier Paradise, there are multiple things to see including a cinema room that was a bit underwhelming, an elevator up to a viewing platform with spectacular views, an ice cavern, and a restaurant. There are toilets by the restaurant that cost CHF 2 or EUR 2, but you could use them for free if you made a purchase at the restaurant. The restaurant was smaller than what we saw at Trockner Stag, but had hearty food. Note that you should dress appropriately as this was the coldest spot during our visit to Switzerland.
As we visited in late April during shoulder season, there were no queues or crowds. Tickets can be bought onsite, and the Swiss train pass or Half Fare Card entitled us to a steep discount. As with many places in Switzerland, it is worth checking the webcams before heading up to make sure you have good weather.
翻译:我们在冰川天堂的体验非常棒。缆车站离采尔马特火车站有点远。您可以步行前往,或者更方便的是乘坐采尔马特市内免费的穿梭巴士。到达缆车站后,您需要乘坐缆车上山;一开始是乘坐小型缆车,之后换乘大型缆车到达冰川天堂。沿途设有多个站点,只要您继续沿同一方向行驶,就可以随时下车。我建议您至少在施瓦茨湖 (Schwarzsee) 和特罗克纳鹿 (Trockner Stag) 站下车。施瓦茨湖可以欣赏到马特洪峰的壮丽景色。特罗克纳鹿站的设施更加完善,包括零售商店、餐厅和免费洗手间。
到达冰川天堂后,您可以参观许多景点,包括一个略显逊色的电影院、一个可以欣赏壮丽景色的观景台电梯、一个冰洞和一个餐厅。餐厅旁边有洗手间,使用一次收费 2 瑞士法郎或 2 欧元,但如果您在餐厅消费,即可免费使用。这家餐厅比我们在 Trockner Stag 看到的要小一些,但食物很丰盛。请注意,这里是我们瑞士之行中最冷的地方,所以一定要穿得暖和些。
由于我们是在四月下旬的淡季去的,所以没有排队,也没有拥挤的人群。门票可以在现场购买,持有瑞士火车通票或半价卡可以享受大幅折扣。和瑞士很多地方一样,出发前最好查看一下网络摄像头,确保天气晴朗。
