    Hi there, my family and I will be in zermatt for the last few days of our trip before making our way back to zurich for our flight home and we were wondering if there is a train trip we can make that will enable us to see a lot of switzerland as we make our way back to zurich. Any suggestions are welcome and are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your post!

    Hi Dimitri,

    Here’s one option if you have the time, as this will take you about 5 hours instead of 3.5 hours with the fastest connection.

    Route: Zermatt to Zurich via Kandersteg. You have to switch trains 3x. First in Visp, then at Brig. In Brig, take the Regio Lotschberger to Bern. In Bern, switch to the train for Zurich. The Regio Lotschberger train goes over the mountain and the route is explained in detail here: http://www.myswissalps.com/lotschberger/gettingthere

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Anna
