'Mode': TO
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: As Zermatt is car-free most tourists arrive by train. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn company runs an hourly service on the route Brig - Visp - Zermatt. The narrow gauge cog railway needs about 90 minutes for the scenic trip through the Vispa Valley. The single fare is about 35 CHF (23 Euro, 2007). Please note that the Eurrail pass is not valid on this route, but allows a 25 % discount.

Getting TO/AROUND: Several funiculars and gondolas serve the mountain region of Zermatt. For one of our hikes we used the undergorund funicular which took us from Zermatt to Sunnegga paradise. Sunnegga paradise is good starting point for many hikes. The trip takes only a few minutes and covers a difference in altitude of about 650 m. In summer 2007 the single fare was 14,50 CHF and the return fare was 22,50 CHF (about 14,00 Euro). Various discounts are available.

Transportation: The Gornergrat Railway

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: The Gornergrat Railway leads from Zermatt (1620 m) to the 3089 m high located Gornergrat. From there panoramic views of the various 4000 m high mountains including the Matterhorn can be enjoyed. The train needs about 45 minutes for the 9,4 km long trip and also stops in Riffelalp and Riffelberg. Both places are located in the middle of Zermatt's hiking region. Although we didn't use the Gornergrat Railway, we crossed the route several times on our hikes and always enjoyed watching it creeping up the mountain. In summer 2007 the single fare was 38,00 CHF and the return fare was 76,00 CHF (about 48 Euro). Various discounts are available.

Getting TO/AROUND: The Riffelalp tram is the highest tramway in Europe. It links the train station Riffelalp with the 5-starred Hotel Riffelalp (2222 m) and was built to transport guests of the hotel. The 675 m long route is only served by the tram from June until October. The original tram was opened in 1899 but had to be closed 60 years later due to a fire which destoyed the hotel. The hotel was rebuilt in 2000 and the replicated tram was inaugurated in June 2001.
