 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone,
I am planning on visiting Zermatt, Switzerland during February. I am on a very tight budget and would like to get there (and back!) for around £100-£150 (yes, its asking a lot!) . I am researching as much as possible but I thought that someone must have tried it or knows the best way to get there! Easyjet start around £140 (Monday-Friday) and a train return from Geneva to Zermatt is about £60, this may be the cheapest option but I thought I'd ask you guys for any ideas (maybe the train?!)! I can leave from Friday the 11th February and cant come back later than Sunday 19th (I can leave later and return earlier though).
I really appreciate any ideas or tips you guys may have for me,
Chris

I think you'd be doing well to get much cheaper than that. Zermatt is not somewhere I'd like to do on too much of a budget...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

chrismathias, you are going to really struggle with flight prices for those dates - it's UK half term week. Good luck though.

chrismathias, £60 (CHF 95) for Geneva to Zermatt return is if you have a swiss half fare card. You may well have this but thought would just point out. Standard fare is double obviously.
The Swiss Transfer Ticket is the most economical with no reductions at £95ish.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Look at Zurich flights too, could be be cheaper than Geneva. Or even Basel.

If your going from stanstead, try snowjet. They fly to sion, a little airport on the valley floor near (ish) to Zermatt.

You could also try going via Milan - surprisingly close.

chrismathias, The cheapest way to get to Zermatt is to stay in Cervinia!

This.
Flights to Malpensa are often very cheap, hire a car (assuming you can fill it with people and split the cost - car hire for a solo traveller is a price hike of course) and drive over the Simplon Pass.
