We recommend having either the SBB Half Fare Card or the Swiss Travel Pass.

We also recommend getting the Zermatt Peak Pass. 

In case Zermatt is part of a wider Switzerland trip, for example taking the Glacier Express, we recommend the Swiss Travel Pass instead of the Half fare card. It will act as a half fare card to give you discounts in Zermatt, but will include all trains you will take  

Day 1 

Morning

When arriving in Zermatt, you can either take the train directly or park your car in Täsch (Zermatt is a totally car-free village!) and then take the train to Zermatt.
