A private transfer is priced per vehicle, so a bigger group pays less each. These are the one-way prices for larger vehicles, with the seat count each partner states. Ski and board bags take space too: tell the partner how many you have.

Every way from Zurich to Zermatt
Private transfer
Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags
A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to Täsch. Zermatt is car-free: road transfers stop at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch, where the shuttle train runs to Zermatt in about 12 minutes. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows: from €807 for the whole car.
Book from €807Shared shuttle or coach
Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget
Seat-based shuttles run to many Alpine resorts on changeover days. You pay per seat, but you wait for a fixed departure and may be dropped at a central stop. Check that ski bags are included.
Train and bus
Best for: Light packers who like public transport
Zermatt is reached by rail: Swiss trains run to Visp, where the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn continues up the valley to Zermatt. Check the connection for your date on sbb.ch.
Train and bus to Zermatt: official guideHire car
Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay
Driving 236 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking at Täsch, because Zermatt is car-free. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Book Zermatt → ZurichTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- Zermatt is car-free: road transfers stop at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch, where the shuttle train runs to Zermatt in about 12 minutes.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Zermatt" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
- Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (Zermatt Tasch). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.
