The Matterhorn

The Matterhorn, which has recently returned to service, towers 147 feet above  Fantasyland, and is rated as one of  Disneyland's most thrilling attractions. Passengers board bobsleds and make a climb to the top of the mountain and then speed through ice tunnels, finally splashing down in a small lake. An encounter with the Abominable Snowman adds to the excitement! Be aware this is a high speed roller-coaster thrill ride. If you suffer from health or back problems, you should not ride. 

The recent refurbishment involved the rebuilding of the queue to accommodate wheelchair access, and the surrounding walkways were repaved to match with the rest of Fantasyland and Small World Mall.  There are no major changes to the ride itself. 


Don't miss Mickey and friends ascending the Matterhorn daily throughout the Summer and on limited weekends during the off-season. A complete video of their journey is available on video below. The narrator of this fun 'extra' is Corey Burton, the Ghost Host of Haunted Mansion Holiday!

The Matterhorn opened as part of a huge expansion of Tomorrowland, which included the opening of an updated Skyway, the Alweg Monorail, and the Submarine voyage. The skyway used to travel from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland, unfortunately, the skyway has been removed and the "holes" in the mountain have been filled in. When the attraction first opened, the interior of the mountain was very unrealistic looking. The addition of the "ice caves" and more encounters with the Abominable Snowman created a truly unique experience.
