ZERMATT | Budget & Luxury 🇨🇭
Michelle Renee
Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Zermatt stands as a testament to the breathtaking beauty that Switzerland is renowned for. For any adventurer, Switzerland is a must visit and Zermatt is one my personal favorite places in Switzerland. This charming mountain village, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and the iconic Matterhorn towering majestically above, offers a captivating blend of natural wonders, alpine adventures, and unparalleled hospitality. 🏔️
This guide has a variety of luxury (come on is Switzerland) and budget-friendly recommendations. As a beginner skier, my main goal was to have the ultimate Après experience.

How to get to Zermatt
Getting to Zermatt is an exciting part of the journey, given its car-free status and stunning scenery. Here are several transportation options to reach Zermatt:
1. By Train
The most popular and convenient way to reach Zermatt is by train. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) connects major Swiss cities like Zurich, Geneva, and Bern to Zermatt. Trains run frequently, and the journey offers scenic views of the Swiss countryside.
Travelers should take the train to the town of Täsch, which is the last stop before Zermatt. From Täsch, you can then continue to Zermatt by shuttle train or taxi. I recommend booking with the link below:
