Easier routes to Zermatt & Saas Fee this winter

As of 9th December 2007, the airport of choice for skiers and boarders travelling to the top car-free Swiss resorts of Zermatt and Saas Fee will be Zurich, not Geneva.

Thanks to the opening of the Lotschberg Base Tunnel (the biggest European rail project since the Channel Tunnel), trains from Zurich Airport will whisk you to Zermatt in just three and half hours with just one easy change at Visp. The trains will not only be faster than those from Geneva Airport but also more modern, with most conveying a Restaurant Car – you don’t even get a snack trolley on the Geneva trains. There are now more scheduled flights to Zurich than ever before, meaning greater availability and keener prices than Geneva.

The last train connection from Zurich Airport departs at 20.13 arriving in Zermatt at 23.44 in plenty of time for a snack at the Elise Bar or a pizza in the Hotel Post.
