    Thank you Lucas! But, is that true the train from Milan to Zermatt take about 20 hours? because I checked the other website, only take about 3-5 hours. so, I’m confused which train and way I should take. I hope the fastest route.

    thank you

    No, definitely not 20 hours! Where did you see that? Was it on the timetable link I sent you?

    It will be around 4 hours like you mention: Milano Centrale – Zermatt
