Train route and ticket for Chamonix to Zermatt
Jono is planning a train trip from Chamonix to Zermatt and is seeking information on how to purchase tickets. He wants to know if he can buy the tickets directly at the train station in Chamonix.
- Purchase a French ticket at Chamonix and a Swiss ticket online in advance to avoid border disruptions.
- Check train schedules on the SBB timetable for better planning.
- Buying the ticket from Chamonix to Vallorcine on the spot may also be a good option if local deals are available.

Hello there,
How do I get from Chamonix to Zermatt by train? There isn’t much info on the internet.
Can I just buy the train ticket at Chamonix Mont Blanc Train Station?
Cheers,

You would need to buy a French ticket at Chamonix. To avoid having to stop at the border , buy the Swiss ticket on line in advance
The route is:
Chamonix – Vallorcine (Mont Blanc Express (SNCF French Railways section) )
change
Vallorcine – Martigny (Mont Blanc Express (Swiss section))
change
Martigny – Visp (SBB CFF Inter regio main line train)
change
Visp – Zermatt (MGB railway
Cheers! Appreciate your help 🙂

Hi Jono,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
I would follow the same route proposed by 1960man. You can check train schedules on the SBB timetable. For point-to-point tickets from Chamonix to Zermatt, you might be able to find some good deals here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/france

I am dubious as to any ‘cheap deals’ for the route in question. Resellers often ‘shout’ about their fares being cheaper but then add on an admin fee! I suspect buying Chamonix – Vallorcine ticket ‘on the spot’ would be fine. There is of course also the chance that a local deal not advertised elsewhere will be available at Chamonix station.
Thanks everyone! Great tips! 🙂
