Hotels in Zermatt

Staying in Zermatt

Cars do not enter Zermatt. The road up the valley ends at Täsch, where drivers leave their vehicles, and the last stretch is by rail to the station in the centre of the village. Electric taxis run from the station, and the village is small enough to cross on foot. The main street leads from the station past the shops and the church toward the lifts, with the river beside it. Zurich Airport is the airport named on this page, at the other end of the country. Arrivals can take the train through Bern and Visp, or book a private transfer with AI Concierge to be driven to Täsch and handed on to the train. The page also lists the train from Interlaken for people combining the valleys. Choosing a hotel is about the slopes and the view. Rooms facing south see the Matterhorn; ask for it when you book. Hotels near the station make arrival easier with ski bags; those further up the hillside are quieter and closer to some of the lifts. If you plan to ski every day, check which lift base your hotel is nearest to, since the lifts leave from different sides of the village.
