Yelp Review 2026 #152:…read more Zermatt station is small. It has trains going/ coming from St. Moritz, Chur, Tasch, Visp, and Fiesch. It only has 4-5 platforms so, it's quite impossible to get lost. From Bern, we took a train to Visp. from Visp we took Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to Zermatt. The seats are a bit narrower even in first class with a 2-1 configuration vs 2-2 configuration in second class. There are power outlets in first class and there was nobody else in our carriage so, it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a comfortable 1.25hour ride.

We took the glacier express from Zermatt to St Moritz and it was a great experience. We got lunch…read morearound 11:30-12 when they started lunch service and were able to relax the rest of the time. Warning that it gets very hot in the train on sunny days so bring sunglasses and layers. Also online it says that you are not allowed to take skis onboard but we were able to take both of our ski bags with no issue, there was even a rack to put them in. Just make sure to be one of the first onboard to ensure space. To note on the above too we actually tried to ship our skis to St Moritz via SBB but the reps for SBB refused to mail them once they found out we were only doing that because the glacier express website said not to bring them and they told us they've never seen skis get denied boarding from Zermatt.

The scenery that this train passes through is very spectacular and there are certain portions where…read morethe train is climbing up or down some pretty steep grades and it can feel like a roller coaster ride, especially with the sharp turns. The entire route goes from Zermatt to St Moritz though I only rode the Brig to Chur portion which includes the highest point of the entire line. However, the train requires a reservation which means you can't decide to get on on a spur of the moment and it's pretty reasonable that they require a reservation: it was packed when I got on and it was only a Wednesday in May which is the off season for travel in Switzerland. The reservation was pretty pricy as well and that doesn't include the overpriced (but still decent) food they serve on board. Keep in mind that most if not all of the length of the line is covered by other trains which you can ride for no extra charge with a Swiss Travel Pass though you may need to change trains many times. The crowded and somewhat loud setting of the train does take away from the experience a little; if you don't mind appearing antisocial, definitely consider bringing noise canceling headphones. Honestly, I would only recommend booking this if you happen to be going in this direction anyways (or in the other way from east to west along Southern Switzerland); I don't think it's worth the time and money to go out of your way to take this train if, say, you're going back to the same hotel to spend the night after finishing your journey on the Glacier Express.

while the view is gorgeous, this is not the stop you want to get off on…read more.. the ultimate destination is zermatt!!! happy snowboarding . skiing . snowball fighting guys!^^

We got charged Chf 25.- for a trip from the train station 500 meters up the street to our Hotel…read morewith 4 passengers and luggage. Just after inquiring at the Hotel about what a ride should cost we find out that we have taken for a serious ride. Oh well never ever for us again Taxi Schaller. Not a good way to start your vacation

Seems all very shady, depending who is giving you a ride the price seem to be vastly different…read more Then I tried to complain to their office and the lady just hanged up the phone, great business. I guess in a tourist town like Zermatt they figure they can do what ever they want. Best to walk or use the hotel shuttle. I suggest the tourist office should clamp down on Schaller, bad for business.
