We took one of the ultimate train trips in the world the other day, including a ride on the fabled Glacier Express from Visp to Zermatt and rack and pinion journey up to Gornergrat in the mountains above. At the top we were able to see 29 peaks > 4000m, inlcuding the second and third highest in the Alps (Dufourspitze - aka Monte Rosa - on the Italian border; and the Dom) and the Matterhorn, which lived up to its substantial reputation.
The pictures attached show the Glacier Express en route to Zermatt; the town of Zermatt - crawling with tourists from all over the world and best avoided at this time of year; the Matterhorn; the Dufourspitze; Castor and Pollux - twin peaks nearby; and the backside of the Dom - best viewed from Saas Grund. See my previous post about that.
