Hi. My husband and I are travelling to Zermatt from Como in July. Please can you advise the fastest rail route and also tell us if we can buy our ticket in Como (Italy) using the Swiss half card. Thanks, P.

Hello J and P and welcome to MySwissAlps,

You will want to have a look at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/italy.

For the fastest route from Como to Zermatt use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) or the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to plan your travel, find fares* and buy tickets if required. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. *SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, mobile app allows you to nominate full or half-fare and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass) if that offers the best fare.

For alternate routes try via Andermatt and via Locarno.

Como is just across the Italian border from Chiasso, which is the Swiss border station. You can buy Swiss tickets and passes at Chiasso.

Geographically direct route Como – Zermatt is Chiasso – Bellinzona – Locarno – Centovalli – Domodossola – Brig – Zermatt
