Your Transfer: What to Expect

The Route: Your driver follows the A9 motorway east through the Rhône valley, passing Montreux and the medieval Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva, then continuing through the wine-growing Valais to Visp. From Visp, the route turns south into the Matter valley, climbing through alpine villages toward Zermatt. Since Zermatt is car-free, drop-off is at Täsch terminal or the village taxi stand.
