Swiss rental car with Canadian license
Aman is visiting Switzerland in August and plans to buy a Swiss Travel Pass for eight days. He has questions about driving with a Canadian license and choosing between Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn for the best views, as he’s not planning to hike.
- You can rent a car with your Canadian driver's license and an international permit; just be cautious with speed limits as fines are steep.
- For the best views of the Matterhorn, choose Gornergrat, as it provides the iconic postcard view that many are familiar with.

Yes, you’ll have no problem renting with your CDN driver’s license. Regulations are very similar here – don’t speed as the fines are huge and they will ticket for for 1 or 2km/h over the limit. Maximum speed is really the maximum speed here. 🙂
Both mountains, Klein Matterhorn and Gornergrat offer great views of the Matterhorn in good weather.
Gornergrat gives you the postcard view everyone knows of.
Thanx Lucas
