From Leukerbad to Zermatt by bus/train

Short summary – read this first

A traveler shares helpful travel tips they received about their upcoming trip to Switzerland. They plan to visit Leukerbad, then continue to Zermatt, and need advice on the best routes and transportation options. They specifically emphasize the need for clarity on bus and train schedules.

Key takeaways:
  • Use the bus service from Leukerbad to Leuk, which operates with the same company that previously ran the railway.
  • Take the SBB main line train from Leuk to Visp, which runs hourly at xx.43 and half-hourly at xx.33 and xx.00 on weekdays.
  • Travel from Visp to Zermatt using the narrow gauge MGB railway train, easily accessible from the main train station.

    just posting a copy of the help i received from 1960man on a related thread which took a tangent.

    “…..Your route would be

    Leukerbad – Leuk: bus (still the same company as used to run the railway)

    Leuk – Visp: SBB main line train (hourly xx.43 past each hour express train) or 1/2 hourly (xx.33 and xx.00) although the latter doesn’t run a weekends

    Visp – Zermatt: narrow gauge MGB railway train (red and white livery trains)

    a few yards across the road to the Gornergrat railway (brown livery trains) station.”

    Thankyou 1960man.

    It wasn’t too bad a tangent. 🙂

    I’d post it back there for 1960man to see. Have a great trip!
