Zermatt understands to harmonize tourism and nature. Zermatt is completely car-free therefore the voyage to the glacier at the foot of the Matterhorn is a little more complicated than to other glacier ski resorts. For those coming from the west the voyage there is most recommendable via Lausanne and the Rhône- highway A9 until Visp. From the east one must either cross the Furka-pass or use the train accommodating you and your car to get to Visp. From there only few kilometres need to be covered to get to Täsch (5km away from Zermatt) where the parking lot with more than 3000 parking places is situated. Between Täsch and Zermatt a shuttle train runs every 20 minutes. From the train station Zermatt to the base of the Furi gondola another 1000m need to be covered by electro-taxi or by taking the short walk through the beautiful mountain village Zermatt. The large gondola takes the snow sports enthusiasts up to the 2939m high “Trockener Steg” which is also the base of the Matterhorn-Glacier-Paradise. Depending on the number of visitors one should plan about 1,5 hours to get from Täsch to the glacier.
