Hey guys, Ive an offer to go to work at zermatt switzerland Is it possible to work in zermatt and living in visp for exemple?

Is it to expensive, since you have to catch the train to get in and out the City? Does anyone knows someone Who does it? Because renting in zermatt seems kind of impossible or way to expensive

Thanksss

Trying to plan a trip to ski zermatt in Feb with my wife and two kids. Looks like finding a suitable hotel for us is quite challenging. Only two very expensive options available on most websites. Did I miss the boat already or am I looking in the wrong places?

Thanks

Is it worth coming to Zermatt tonight , or everything would be close / empty?

I’d probably need to leave at midnight to catch the last train . Don’t think of want to party up to 5 to get the first one (even if i maybe could , and it’s actually possible to walk to Täsch to get the car back … is the parking open 24/24?).

Suggestions or where to go? Solo 40 y.o. Male.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a trip to Zermatt and want to visit both the Gornergrat Bahn and Glacier Paradise. I have a few questions and apologies if these have been covered before!

• Are the tickets for Gornergrat Bahn and Glacier Paradise separate, or is there a combined option?
• What’s the cost for each ticket, and how long are they valid?
• How long should I plan for each of these activities?

Thanks so much in advance for the help! Any additional tips are very welcome!

Will be skiing Zermatt and Andermat in February 2025.

How are the roads and driving around there? Kept plowed and salted?

I’m very comfortable driving in the winter in the US, typically Colorado, Tahoe, and Utah ski areas. Is the experience similar?

Hiya,

My name is Tom and I'm currently researching Zermatt for a Swedish travel show which will be shown on national television.

I'm looking for recommendations on pretty much anything, but preferably not the most knows things, such as the Matterhorn, Gornergrat etc.

Is there for example maybe a really great bar with a lot of interesting people?

Are there any local "celebrities" we should meet when we go there?

Someone with a really interesting story?

We're basically looking for maybe lesser known, but still amazing places and people in Zermatt. Could be weird, funny, or just nice.

Please leave any sort of suggestions, as we are basically up for anything!

We're planning on visiting in the beginning of March 2025.

All the best,

Tom

We are going in early December. Will probably only go up one of these trams. Which one do you recommend that time of year?

We are going Zermat in February . We plan to go to Venice from Zermat. What is the best way to go from Zermat to Venice?

We are looking in SBB and trenitalia for rail routes . We find trains available few days Until December but not after yet . Looking for suggestions on best route in least amount of time from Zermat to Venice .

Zermat to brig to Milano central to Venice seems an option . Are there trains that run in February like in mid winter time in this route?

Hey guys, I need some straight talk. Is heliskiing worth it in Zermatt? I looked at a few companies and a lot of it seems to be simple terrain, and some reviews I found said it was just a glorified chair lift. I am not an expert level skier but on the slopes in CO/UT I spend most of my time off piste, on the chutes, double black diamonds etc. Just looking for some real feedback if this is worth my time and money.

when it comes to recommendations for things to do in Zermatt on rainy day I see the Matterhorn museum comes up every where. I was wondering if there are some trails that are ok for hiking /walking during (light) rain. I came across this suggestion which is some kind of a loop around Gorner gorge. Will you recommend this? or if you have any alternate ideas please do share :)

Hello all,

I will be staying in Breuil-Cervinia for a week during new years and had a few doubts regarding the different ski areas and their respective forfaits/ski passes.

Does anybody know if there is one pass for all areas (ie. cervino, Valtournenche, Zermatt, etc.), or would each area have their respective passes? This is because we would like to cross from one station to another (when possible, I know if it’s very windy you can’t).

Another question I had is regarding the prices of the ski passes. I haven’t been able to find any pricing for the 2024/25 winter season, which I am assuming is because they’re still deciding on them however, what are the general prices for the daily passes in Cervino Ski Paradise and, are there weekly passes?

We are a group of 7, some experts some intermediates and some that won’t ski, and some of us would like to ski atleast 5 days.

This is going to be my second season skiing, however, I have made some big improvements this year and I can ski parallel pretty well.

At the end of the season, I also skied on some easy-to-intermediate red slopes, so I'd love to hear some recommendations for which slopes of the same difficulty I should try.

Anything we should try? Not big on sea food but open to any recommendations. We'll be there for a couple nights next weekend.

Hello. I just arrived an hour ago.

Is it possible to hire ski’s and ski ? Cause I can’t see any snow.

Thank you

Do people have recommendations for particular guides or companies they've used for ski touring around the Zermatt area?

Going there for a trip in the spring and would love to take at least 1 or 2 days to do ski touring. I'm going with a group of mostly first timers, but we're all really good skiers, minus the actual experience with touring.

I'm also searching on the internet but it's hard to beat a solid recommendation on Reddit :)

I've just booked to go Snowboarding in Zermatt for a week at the beginning of March 2025. Normally I take my own board and kit but it's quite old now and I quite fancy trying out some different boards. Can anyone recommend a hire shop that would have the most recent (or past season) boards? And do they allow you to change boards throughout the week?

HI! I am visiting Zermatt 11/24 - 11/25 and was wondering if it is worth staying in Zermatt the night of 11/24 esp if I am not a skiier. We were thinking of staying the night and doing a day trip to Glacier Paradise. From what I read it is hit or miss if it is even worth it due to visibility. Now I am wondering if it is just worth staying the night or if a day trip exploring the town is the best choice?

Open to suggestions for late Nov and other things to do in Zermatt. Hiking, museums, foods, market open to it all just not snowboarding or skiing.

For more reference we are staying near VISP on 11/23 and taking an early train to Zermatt 11/24 to try and gain a full day on the 24th. Also should we buy the train tickets in advance or just wait for day of?

Thanks in advance!

We are four women in our late 30s, heading to Zermatt to celebrate a birthday next weekend. It’s not a super sporty group, so we’re unlikely to be jumping off mountains or hiking up hills. Any ideas for fun activities we can do together? I’m thinking wine tasting, tours, unusual modes of transport, games, etc.

I am traveling with some friends in February to ski Chamonix then followed by Zermatt.

What are the best ways to

1. get from Chamonix to Zermatt
2. Zermatt back to Geneva for our AM flights home?

Thanks everyone

I'm leaving Switzerland tmr and won't be able to bring them in the carry on bag, if anyone needs it let me know.

Howdy, I have no idea about anything Zermatt related (bar checking how to get from the nearby town via train). I was wondering if it is feesible to rent a car in Milan early morning, drive and get the train, returning in the late evening and returning my car the following day. My other half is desperate to visit (something to do with a book?), so wondering if I could surprise her on the day, or if it's going to be too much hassle trying to fit it all in within a day.

Cheers

Hello all,

Last year I went before the rink opened and was bummed. This year I am going in mid November. Does anyone know if I can rent a helmet and a stick at one of the stores? (I’m trying to cut down on luggage weight.

Thank you!

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Switzerland from Dec 15 to Dec 30. I would love to ski while I am there.

What is the likelihood that the ski resorts in Zermatt will have enough snow to ski by then? I’m not an advanced skier and prefer to ski on green and blue trails.

Also any recommendations for a hotel that is ski in/out.

Is it possible to hike up to the hornli hut without cable car?, As ive learnt and heard so far, it is around 60-70 euros one way upwards however if im wrong please correct me :).Thanks

Looking for recommendations on a local photographer. Will be visiting with my wife in November of this year for our anniversary.

Thank you!

I was planning to take the train from Stresa, Italy to Zermatt on the 15th of October and return to Milan on the 17th. A few days back when I checked the train schedules I saw a train that goes from Stresa to Zermatt (with a change at Brig/Visp). But today when I checked google maps and a few ticket booking websites I found I can travel only up to Visp by train. After that I have to take a bus (EV2) to Tasch and finally a 12 min local train to Zermatt. Is there a closure in the Visp to Zermatt section from mid October for maintenance purpose or something like that ? (Note that till 13th October these trains are working as usual). Should I go ahead booking the tickets for this route or wait and hope the train service returns to normal ?
