Sunnegga-Rothorn - How to get there

Getting to Zermatt and the Sunnegga valley station

Zermatt is car-free and can best be reached by train from Visp/Brig. A popular option is the Glacier Express, but many regular trains available as well. If you arrive by car, you’ll have to park in nearby Täsch and then board the train to Zermatt.

Once you’re in Zermatt, it’s a 10-minute walk across the town to the valley station, which is located within the mountains and accessible by a deep tunnel. There you’ll board the funicular to Sunnegga.
