Bahnweg Täsch-Zermatt

Highlight • Trail

The railway trail is also a family trail. You can see not only the train carriages of the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway. Marmots also live here and many alpine flowers bloom, including some very rare specimens.

It is a very nice and easy hike. Surefootedness must be present, as well as good physical condition. Can also be done with children (ages 10 and up). Paths are very easy to walk. There is also an adventure trail for children on this hike. On the way there are always benches to relax and enjoy the view.

Important: This hike starts directly from the Alpen Resort Hotel. However, you can also start from the Zermatt train station.

Important: Zermatt is car-free, so you park your car in Täsch. There are several parking garages. From there, the train continues to Zermatt. Price one way by train is CHF 8.60 without Half-Fare travelcard

Matterhorn Gotthard Railway

Highlight • Structure

The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahngesellschaft operates various routes in the center of the Alps. No easy task: Even during construction, the many tunnels and bridges were a real challenge. Today it is about protecting the routes in the summer from floods, debris flows and rockfalls. And in winter, it is important to clean the rails immediately after heavy snowfall and to ensure safety.

At any rate, when you're on the bike, the track is always a very comfortable "Plan B": if you can not do it anymore, the track will do the rest! And there are good bike and train offers: matterhorngotthardbahn.ch/en/summer/angebote/bike-bahn

August 25, 2024,🇨🇭Erkundungstour von Täsch nach Zermatt
After arriving in Täsch in the early afternoon, we went on an exploratory tour along the Matter-Vispa river to Zermatt.
The route led through areas with and without forest, over hill and dale, meadows and pastures. Most of the time in view: the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway.
When we arrived in Zermatt, we looked at the old wooden houses. Simply great! …

Hiked from the 🅿️ Täsch to Zermatt and visited the place. The Matterhorn🏔️🇨🇭 only showed half of itself.
Going out to eat: 1x pizza, salad, 🍷 and water 55,-CFr.😲🤷‍♂️, you don't treat yourself to anything else.
Back with the shuttle 🚃 train. 8,-CFr. per person.
