Tickets Riffelalp down to Zermatt

Short summary – read this first

Helen is planning to hike part of the 5 Lakes Walk in late June, starting from Blauherd to Grunsee and then heading down to Riffelalp to catch a cogwheel train to Zermatt. She wants to know if she can buy tickets for the train directly at Riffelalp Station or if she needs to purchase them in Zermatt before starting her hike.

Key takeaways:
  • You can buy tickets for the cogwheel train at Riffelalp Station without needing to go to Zermatt first.
  • Always check local travel schedules in advance to ensure smooth connections on your hike.

    Hello. I wish to walk part of the 5 Lakes Walk in late June from Blauherd to Grunsee, but instead of hiking to Sunnegga, I want to miss out Moojisee and Leisee and continue down to Riffelalp then take the cogwheel train from Riffelalp to Zermatt.

    Am I able to buy tickets for the cogwheel train at Riffelalp Station, or do I need to buy these tickets in Zermatt, before I set off?

    Thanks,

    Helen.
