Arriving by car

How to drive to the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch and where to leave the car for Zermatt.

Zermatt is car-free, so every road trip to the Matterhorn ends in Täsch. From the Rhône valley you follow the cantonal road up through Visp, St. Niklaus and Randa; the Matterhorn Terminal sits right beside Täsch station at the end of the valley road. Set your sat-nav to “Matterhorn Terminal Täsch” and it will bring you straight to the entrance.

Parking at the terminal

The terminal is a covered multi-storey car park with around 2,100 spaces. When you book online, your licence plate is stored, so the barrier opens automatically on arrival and you drive straight to a space — there is no paper ticket to keep. Book “Parking” for a standard space, or “Parking with e-charging station” if your car needs to charge.

Tip: Book online before you set off. Your plate is recognised at the barrier, so you skip the pay machines on the way in and out.

The height limit

The maximum vehicle height is 2.30 metres — enough for regular cars, estates and most SUVs without a roof box. Taller vehicles, such as motorhomes, can't use the covered garage.

From the car to Zermatt

The shuttle-train platform is a two-minute walk from the garage. Trains to car-free Zermatt run about every 20 minutes and take 12 minutes; taxis and hotel electric shuttles also pick up at the terminal.
