Zurich → Zermatt / St. Moritz
Switzerland’s car-free icon: double-decker IC trains to Visp, then the narrow-gauge BVZ zigzags up the Mattertal to car-free Zermatt under the Matterhorn. The Glacier Express option makes it a full panoramic day.

Pass advice
Pass advice
Zermatt is car-free — trains only; road vehicles must stop at Täsch.
Half Fare Card / Saver Day Pass slash Swiss fares dramatically.
The Glacier Express (Zermatt→St. Moritz, ~8h) needs seat reservations months ahead in summer.
