Airport transfers
Transfers from Zurich Airport to Zermatt
No ordinary car can enter Zermatt. The village under the Matterhorn, at the head of the Mattertal valley in the Valais, is closed to road traffic, and that shapes any transfer: a car from Zurich Airport drives the length of the country to Tasch, the village just below Zermatt, and the final stretch up is by rail. Skiers, climbers and walkers with heavy bags still book a driver for this journey because it removes several changes of train with luggage; the point to grasp before booking is where the car stops.

About this transfer
The drive from Zurich Airport to the Valais crosses central Switzerland and reaches the Rhone valley at Visp, then turns up the Mattertal towards Tasch. Enter the flight number, pick a pickup time that comes after reclaim, and put down passengers and luggage; skis, boards and boot bags all count and the vehicles shown depend on what you enter. At Tasch the road ends for private vehicles, and the last part of the journey up to Zermatt is by rail from the terminal there. The transfer you book here is the drive, so check in the vehicle details how the final stretch is handled and plan to carry your own bags on and off the train. Zermatt's hotels are spread up the village from the station; ask your hotel how guests are collected from the station in Zermatt. The return from Zermatt to Zurich Airport is a separate booking, and the car can only collect you where the road reaches, so allow for the rail leg down before the pickup time. Zermatt hotels are shown below, and the same airport's transfer pages cover Lucerne and Interlaken for anyone combining the resorts.
