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,

Jono

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

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

Regards,

Anna

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.
