Le chemin de fer du Gornergrat (Gornergrat Bahn) est un chemin de fer \u00e0 cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re de montagne situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Zermatt, dans le canton du Valais, en Suisse. Il relie le village, \u00e0 1\u00a0604 m\u00e8tres d'altitude, au col du Gornergrat, \u00e0 3\u00a0089 m\u00e8tres. Inaugur\u00e9e le 20 ao\u00fbt 1898, la ligne fut le premier chemin de fer \u00e0 cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re \u00e9lectrique de Suisse. Jusqu'\u00e0 l'ouverture du chemin de fer de la Jungfrau en 1912, il \u00e9tait le plus haut d'Europe. Aujourd'hui, il est le deuxi\u00e8me plus haut d'Europe et le plus haut \u00e0 circuler enti\u00e8rement \u00e0 ciel ouvert. Le trajet est l'un des plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres voyages en train dans les Alpes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qu'il faut voir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La ligne s'\u00e9tend sur 9,3 km et grimpe de pr\u00e8s de 1\u00a0500 m\u00e8tres. Les trains utilisent une cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re entre les rails pour gravir les pentes abruptes. Cette ligne est \u00e9galement particuli\u00e8re car elle fonctionne \u00e0 l'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 triphas\u00e9e\u00a0; les trains sont donc \u00e9quip\u00e9s de deux pantographes sur le toit. Il n'existe que quatre lignes de ce type au monde. Durant la mont\u00e9e, le train s'arr\u00eate \u00e0 Findelbach, Riffelalp, Riffelberg et Rotenboden. La voie ferr\u00e9e franchit des ponts, traverse des for\u00eats de m\u00e9l\u00e8zes et de pins, puis de vastes prairies alpines. Pour profiter des plus belles vues sur le Cervin, asseyez-vous \u00e0 droite du train \u00e0 l'ascension. \u00c0 la gare d'arriv\u00e9e, vous trouverez des restaurants, des boutiques, une plateforme panoramique et le Kulmhotel Gornergrat. Une ancienne locomotive de 1898, peinte en or, est expos\u00e9e \u00e0 la gare sommitale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment s'y rendre et informations pratiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Gornergrat Railway station is right opposite the main train station in Zermatt. Zermatt is car-free, so you arrive by train from Visp or Brig, or leave your car in T\u00e4sch and take the shuttle train. The railway runs every day of the year, and the trip to the top takes about 33 minutes. A return ticket from Zermatt costs about CHF 132 in summer and CHF 96 in winter. With a Half Fare Card or Swiss Travel Pass you pay half. Many people go up by train and walk down part of the way, for example from Rotenboden past the Riffelsee lake to Riffelberg, and then take the train again. In winter skiers use the railway to reach the slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
