Highlights
Museum areas
The Museum is divided into distinct areas for Rail, Road, Air, Water and Cable Cars. You can climb aboard actual historic and modern vehicles for each area and in the Space area there are life size recreations. The Museum has interactive experiments & games and information in English throughout.
Red Bull | The Edge Matterhorn VR
Climb to the top of the Matterhorn - virtually. A video briefing with Red Bull athlete Jérémie Heitz and his friend, the Zermatt mountain guide Sam Anthamatten – and you’re off. Equipped with VR goggles and climbing harnesses, you head for the summit of the Matterhorn by navigating the climbing wall with the help of the equipment. Wind simulation and an authentic soundscape provide an awe-inspiring fusion of the virtual and the real worlds. On reaching an altitude of 4,478 metres above sea level, you can savour the breath-taking vista and bask in that feeling of joy and accomplishment otherwise known only to mountaineers. The Edge isn’t for the faint-hearted but the adrenaline rush is amazing! Take a look at the video here...
