Gornergrat

When I stepped off the train at the Gornergrat (3100m), I walked out to the vista and my jaw just dropped. This was the view.
It was without a doubt, the most amazing alpine scenery I have ever seen in person (and that means a lot). I had never seen glaciers and high mountains like this before. It was just stunning. To give you a feel for elevations there is one peak towards the left of the panorama that is 4634m (15,200ft) tall. The photo doesn't even do it justice This view was in the top 5 of my favorite experiences on my trip. Maybe even number 1.
Smaller photo here in case you don't have a huge monitor.
