    Hi Snehap,

    I’m glad we helped with your trip!

    1. Here is a list of things to do in Zermatt
    2. With the PDF fare sheet you see the prices from town to town ie. Luzern to Weggis is 14 km (noted on 1st page) so it is 19.60 – fares by km on 2nd page. You then take 50% off that for your Swiss Half Fare Card price.

    If you want to know how long it takes to get from Luzern to Weggis (for example) you can use the timetable here.

    Cheers!
    Lucas

    Thank you for your prompt response

    they will be staying in Cham zug so do they need to travel to luzern to catch the cruise or there any pick up points close to cham

    They will be arriving in zermatt on 13 aug around 7 pm and departing on 15 august morning so basically one day in zermatt

    Is it possible to visit both gornergrat and Matterhorn glacier paradise in the same day

    Is it must to visit both the places?

    if visiting both in one day , how should they start n end the trip

    please help

    Hi Snehap,

    Küssnacht Am Rigi (See) is the closest boat dock for them so they can catch a boat there.

    Yes, you can do both Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn/Glacier Paradise in one day. This won’t leave much time to explore the town. It is personal preference there! I’m not sure I would do both activities myself. Use the timetable link on my previous post to plan the trips.

    Cheers,

    Lucas
