Zermatt to Zurich via the full Golden Pass Line (http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass) which runs between Montreux and Luzern will take you over 9 hours.
Going via Kandersteg, Intelaken Ost, Meringen and Luzern covers a fair part of the Golden Pass Line route but still takes over 7 hours.
By comparison the fastest route offered by the SBB Timetable (http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable) is 3 hours 21 mins.
