Car
Zermatt is car-free. Dinky little electric vehicles are used to transport goods, serve as taxis and so on around town. At the moment, drivers have to leave their vehicles in the huge open parking area in Täsch (Sfr7.50 per day), or in one of the several covered garages there and take the train (Sfr7.80, 12 minutes) into Zermatt. In 2005, the village voted to open the road as far as Zermatt and build parking stations at the village entrance, but it could be a while before this happens.
Train
Hourly trains depart from Brig (Sfr34, 85 minutes), stopping at Visp en route. The scenic route is operated by a private railway. Zermatt is also the starting point of the Glacier Express to Graubünden, one of the most spectacular train rides in the world.
