Zermatt - everyone goes there
......................................................

Located in southern Switzerland at an altitude of 1'600 metres and a few hours from the international airports of Zurich, Geneva and Milano.
......................................................
International rail connections link up to Brig with the modern narrow-gauge Zermatt railway, which takes only 90 minutes to climb through the romantic, rugged Visp Valley.
......................................................

Motorists can drive as far as Täsch, from where trains (shuttle trains run every 20 minutes) and minibus taxis operate a shuttle service for the remaining 4.8 km / 3 miles to Zermatt.
......................................................
Parking facilities are available in Täsch, as well as in Visp for motorists wishing to continue by rail.

Electric-taxis Zermatt

Horse-Taxi
Cab, excursions and round-trips with horse-drawn carriages.





Our mountains are really tops but get away from the regions and experience the countryside where the villages are. Go to the restaurants here is where you meet the locals enjoy a beer and the local cuisine.
