Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Zurich transfer to Zermatt
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm going to Zermatt on December 20th and just wanting to ask advice on transfers. We land in Zurich at 11:40 and have heard that the snow train is the best option and it's in the airport itself. I've struggled to find timetables or how to buy tickets etc. Is it better to do it when you arrive? Can you book first class at the train station? (anniversary trip) does anyone have a link to a timetable? A lot of questions I know sorry.

Also any suggestions for an anniversary meal would be fantastic

@mk28, have a look here, www.seat61.com and www.sbb.ch , then select EN for the english version. The train station is within the airport, traveling by train is Switzerland is a joy and dead easy

I did that journey à few years ago and it was pretty straight forward, just one change. Swiss Travel Pass was the cheapest option, it must be purchased in advance.

There's a train at 12:40, arrives Zermatt 16:14. Trains are hourly, with 1 change at Visp. Currently you can't book online for December. First class fare is 221 CHF (one-way).

Assuming you are going both ways, a Swiss transfer ticket would be cheaper:

First class return is 226 CHF.

You have to book the Swiss Transfer Ticket in Advance, though I think you are bit early for that too (it only allowed me to select up to 18th December).

I've never booked in advance or reserved seats for Swiss trains, and it's never been a problem getting seats. The Swiss transfer ticket it the ideal solution for this, and you are not bound to any particular train, useful if flights are delayed etc
