Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Bern at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.

The Route: Your driver takes the A6 south from Bern through Thun, then follows the A8/A9 along the shores of Lake Thun and into the Rhône valley. After Visp, the route turns south into the Matter valley, climbing through the alpine villages of Stalden, St. Niklaus, and Randa toward Zermatt. Since Zermatt is car-free, drop-off is at the Täsch terminal or the village taxi stand.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 2h 51m. The A6/A9 is fast to Visp. The Matter valley road narrows during ski-season Saturday changeovers. Winter driving in the upper valley requires appropriate equipment. Allow 2.5–3 hours.

Winter visitors access 360 km of ski runs across the Matterhorn Ski Paradise, including Europe's highest-altitude summer skiing on the Theodul Glacier.
