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 :-)

Poster: A snowHead

Hi, this is my first post so thanks in advance to any who can help me.
I'm planning to drive to Visp in Feb half term 2009 and get the train from there to Zermatt. Do I need to book or is it safe to just turn up and get a ticket on arrival. Obviously flexibility on arrival time would be helpful - i could arrive any time between 6.30 and 8.30 in the evening.

Buckyball,

The better option is to drive up to Tasch and park there, the train is every few minutes from there and takes 10 minutes. So booking a ticket is not needed

... and while the parking is free at Visp, the train fare is pretty steep, 66 CHF return. Versus 15 CHF return from Tasch + 15 CHF to park the car.

Thanks guys. Brian, is that 15 CHF for a week? - And is it necessary to book that? I was really thinking about Visp partly because I am a bit concerned about driving further up the valley in winter - are the roads likely to be clear?

buckyball, no need to book parking or train. The roads will be clear unless it's snowing or has very recently stopped. You should have chains with you in case.
