ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND TRAVEL GUIDE, THE ICONIC MATTERHORN, Things to know about Zermatt!

Switzerland is incredibly well connected by a slick train network that snakes through the Alps. The quickest way to get from Zürich to Zermatt is by train. The journey takes an average of 4h 3m, but there’s also a faster route that takes just 3h 12m. You don’t have to worry about timings either. Approximately 25 trains leave Zürich for Zermatt each day, which means there are plenty of departure options.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct train that will take you straight from Zürich to Zermatt. You have to change at Visp, a small city in the heart of Valais. En route, you’ll pass through the cities of Bern and Thun, which are well worth a visit for their castles, museums, and shopping promenades. From Visp, it’s a scenic ride-past rugged mountainsides and waterfalls-up the Matter Valley to Zermatt.
Travel in Switzerland ain’t cheap. One way train tickets from Zürich to Zermatt start at $66. However, once on board, you can expect air-conditioned cabins, comfortable seats, WiFi, and postcard-worthy views. Most trains have their own restaurant car, so no need to worry about going hungry. Plus, you can anticipate a smooth, quiet ride-Switzerland is the only country in Europe that regulates the noise-producing bumps on railway tracks.
Once you arrive in Zermatt, you’ll no doubt want to head straight for the ski slopes. After all, Zermatt is famed worldwide for its high-altitude network of pistes, flanked by the famous Matterhorn Mountain. Yes, the same one that features on the Toblerone chocolate packaging.
The best time to ski in Zermatt is between December and April. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced skier, there are plenty of areas to suit everyone. Newbies should head to the Wolli Park at Sunnegga for gentle slopes, while advanced skiers could try a yellow off-piste itinerary run like Stockhorn or book a guided tour on the glacier.
Another factor that makes Zermatt doubly appealing: it sits on the border with Italy, so you can ski across to the Italian ski resort of Breuil-Cervinia for lunch. Pizza and an Aperol spritz anyone?
Zermatt, in southern Switzerland’s Valais canton, is a mountain resort renowned for skiing, climbing and hiking. The town, at an elevation of around 1,600m, lies below the iconic, pyramid-shaped Matterhorn peak. Its main street, Bahnhofstrasse is lined with boutique shops, hotels and restaurants, and also has a lively après-ski scene. There are public outdoor rinks for ice-skating and curling.
