Located in the center of Zermatt, the Sunnegga Express was the first Swiss funicular built entirely in tunnel to transport the skiers up to the tracks. In 1985 it has replaced a chair lift.

From Sunnegga, the top station, you have a splendid panorama to the Matterhorn/Cervin (4477m), the Zinalrothorn (4221m) and the Weisshorn (4505m). You may continue with gondolas and an aerial cable way to reach the Rothorn (3100m).

The bottom of the funicular is not exactly the bottom station, you must walk through a 150 meters horizontal tunnel to reach the cabin which is composed of 10 compartments for 20 passengers each.
