    Hello Nwc81,

    The timetable below will provide you with the information, how to best get from Munich to Zermatt.

    You will for sure have to travel via Zurich and have two options getting to Zurich. Either by Bus (Flixbus) or via train.

    And YES, you will need a ticket covering both the German and the Swiss part of the journey. Are you planning to stay in Switzerland for longer?!

    Best,
    Steph

    There is no night train München – Zurich only daytime trains. A new faster service will start this winter, following the conversion of the German section of the route to electric traction.
