[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Zermatt is one of the most beautiful places to ski in the world, and not only because the Matterhorn is on the bucket list of many skiers so how do you get to Zermatt?<\/p>\n

Get to Zermatt:<\/h2>\n

By Plane Or Train<\/h2>\n

It is most likely that you will land in one of the international airports close by, for example Zurich-Kloten, Geneva-Cointrin or Milan-Malpensa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From Zurich<\/strong>, you can take the train directly from the airport to Zermatt with one change in town Visp. It will take about 3.5 hours to arrive at your final destination in Zermatt.<\/p>\n

Trains in Switzerland are very clean and punctual, and it is a really convenient way to travel from the airport.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to travel a bit more of a \u201cstress free\u201d option, there is the possibility to organize a taxi service from the airport to Zermatt. It is better to organize this service in advance and important to make sure that your taxi can drive you all the way up to Zermatt.<\/p>\n

Some of the taxi companies may not have permission to drive you all the way up, and they will only drop you at the shuttle In T\u00e4sch. This would mean you need to take the train shuttle from T\u00e4sch – Zermatt, which is scheduled every 20 mins. The journey takes about 12 minutes and costs CHF 16.50.<\/p>\n

From Geneva<\/strong> airport, it takes about 4 hours by train, with one change in Visp. Taxi service is possible too, just keep in mind the same as before, if you decide to take a taxi, you probably want to be dropped in Zermatt, not in T\u00e4sch.<\/p>\n

From Milan<\/strong>, if you decide to take a train, you have to take a bus or taxi from the airport to Milan Central train station (by bus it takes about 1 hour). Once you are at the train station, it takes again about 3.5 hours to Zermatt with one change in Visp. Taxi service works as well from Milan, it doesn\u2019t matter that Italy and Switzerland are two countries. Switzerland is not an EU country, but usually, you can cross the border fast without problems.<\/p>\n

At all of these airports, it is possible rent a car and drive by yourself if you would prefer but you will only be allowed to drive to T\u00e4sch, where you will have to park your car, and continue to Zermatt with the shuttle train.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”24120″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

By Helicopter<\/h2>\n

The most comfortable and the most efficient way to get to Zermatt from any of the airports I mentioned before is by helicopter. There is a heliport directly in Zermatt, so if you don\u2019t like to waste your time, this might be something for you. Check the link below for more details.<\/p>\n

In Zermatt, it doesn’t matter how you arrive, you can take one of the elektro\u00a0cabs to your hotel or ask the hotel\/chalet to sent their own cab to pick you up. (Walking is an option too, if you don\u2019t stay too far away)<\/p>\n
