Airport Transfer Zurich Zermatt

You land at Zurich Airport (ZRH) and want to reach the Valais and the Matterhorn without changing trains – the best way to do that is to book the airport transfer from Kloten – with no waiting at the taxi rank and no repeated changes carrying ski luggage and suitcases. SWIVON collects you at the terminal and takes you door to door all the way to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch, the car-free gateway to Zermatt. Instead of a train ticket with a change in Visp, you travel in a single journey, with your personal chauffeur at the wheel.

The price is fixed before departure: a flat rate with no taxi meter, regardless of the traffic on the long route into the Valais.

Station Transfer Zurich Zermatt

Not every journey begins at the airport. If you arrive at Zurich HB by long-distance train, we take over the long final leg into the Matter Valley for you, without the change in Visp onto the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway. You step into your car at the main station and drive directly through to Täsch station.

The same applies for the opposite direction: we drop you off in Täsch on time, when you continue from there to Zermatt by shuttle, or take you onward directly after your return from the mountain village – no second change, no hauling across the platform.

Limousine Service Zurich Zermatt

For the Zurich Zermatt transfer, we provide you – through our limousine service from Zurich – with the vehicle that suits your travel party and luggage. Three classes cover the most common occasions.

Business E-Class – Transfer Zurich Zermatt

The Mercedes E-Class is our most frequently chosen class for couples and business travellers, for up to three people. Leather seats, climate comfort and room for suitcases – the right choice when you want to travel to the Valais and the Matterhorn in a relaxed and representative way.

First Class S-Class – Transfer Zurich Zermatt

The Mercedes S-Class offers up to three guests the highest level of calm and legroom. Ideal for the journey to a stay at a 5-star property in Zermatt or for travellers who want to work or unwind during the journey of several hours.

Business Van up to 7 people – Transfer Zurich Zermatt

The Mercedes V-Class van seats up to seven people along with luggage – for larger travel parties or plenty of ski equipment, you can specifically book the Business Van (V-Class). Families and small teams thus travel together in one vehicle to Täsch – with ample space for skis, boards and bulky luggage.

Group Transfer Zurich Zermatt

If you are travelling with more than seven people – for example as a company delegation, ski group or wedding party – we organise the right larger vehicle for the route into the Matter Valley.

Minibus & Sprinter transfer up to 20 people – Zurich Zermatt

For medium-sized groups of up to 20 people, we use a Minibus or Sprinter, so that you can easily book a Sprinter for up to 20 people. This keeps your group together, the luggage travels in the same vehicle, and you arrive as one party at the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch.

Coach Transfer Zurich Zermatt

For larger parties we organise a coach (up to 30) and a touring coach (up to 50), and on request you can also hire a touring coach with a chauffeur, and for very large groups even a double-decker (up to 80). We put these vehicles together on request – just tell us the number of people, the date and the pick-up points, and we will plan the transfer to Täsch.

How your Transfer Zurich Zermatt works

  1. Make a request via the booking link: choose the vehicle and number of people, enter the pick-up and destination address, and select your preferred payment method.
  2. You receive a reply with the proposed vehicle, the details of the assigned chauffeur, and the invoice.
  3. The chauffeur is at your address 15 minutes before the agreed time (except at the airport) and carries out the journey.

How much does the Transfer Zurich Zermatt cost?

You pay a flat rate rather than a taxi meter, which quickly becomes unpredictable on the long mountain drive into the Valais. Compared with travelling by train – ticket plus a change in Visp and a shuttle from Täsch – with us you know exactly what the journey costs before departure, and you share the price as a group.

You can pay conveniently by TWINT, card or on company invoice. You receive your binding flat rate on request or with the booking confirmation; depending on the season or public holiday, a deviation is possible.

Route & Travel Time Zurich Zermatt

The distance to Täsch is around 245 km, and the pure driving time is about 3 hours 15 minutes. The route runs via the A1 towards Bern and on through the Bernese Oberland and the Lötschberg into the Valais, then at Visp up the Matter Valley to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch.

In the winter season and on public holidays, traffic in the Matter Valley can be heavier. Our chauffeurs know the route and plan the time buffer so that you reach your connection in Täsch and your stay in Zermatt on time.

Car-free Zermatt: transfer to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch

Zermatt is car-free, so private and chauffeur cars alike may only drive as far as Täsch, five kilometres before the village; this rule applies to combustion-engine cars and electric cars equally. That is precisely where SWIVON brings you door to door: to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch, with its large car park and its own railway station under one roof. You need worry about neither a parking space nor route charges. We unload your cases and skis right at the terminal and hand you over to the final, short leg into the village.

From Täsch, the Zermatt-Shuttle of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn runs roughly every twenty minutes and reaches the village in about twelve minutes, comfortable and weatherproof. If you prefer to be taken right up to your accommodation, you can use a licensed local electric taxi or your hotel’s E-Shuttle: these authorised electric vehicles are the only way to drive within car-free Zermatt, are operated by local providers and, on request, are arranged in advance by us. In this way your connection into the village is reliably organised, while SWIVON itself ends at the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch.

Private Chauffeur Service Zurich Zermatt – exclusive, discreet & reliable

With us you travel privately – no shared taxi, no strangers along for the ride. A professional chauffeur takes you door to door to Täsch, helps with the luggage and adapts to your schedule. Discretion is a matter of course for discerning guests and business travellers.

Our chauffeurs speak German and English and thus also look after international guests at the Matterhorn dependably. SWIVON can be relied upon, around the clock and on public holidays too.

Meet & Greet, flight tracking & included waiting time – around the clock

Standard pick-up in front of the terminal (curbside)

Included in the flat rate is the standard pick-up directly in front of the terminal: after passport control and baggage claim, you call your chauffeur, and he is in place in front of Terminal 1 or 2 within 4 to 5 minutes.

Meet & Greet – personal welcome with a name sign

With Meet & Greet, the chauffeur is already waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes charge of your suitcase. On this long route into the Valais, the personal welcome is included.

So that the pick-up works even if you are delayed, we track your flight in real time and adjust the pick-up time automatically. A generous waiting time is included, and our service is available 24/7.

Transfer Zermatt → Zurich: return journey & pick-up in Täsch

We are your partner for the return journey too. We collect you at the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch as soon as you have arrived by shuttle from car-free Zermatt, and take you back to Zurich Airport (ZRH) or to your preferred address in the lowlands. The Transfer Zermatt Zurich works on the same principle as the outbound journey: a flat rate agreed in advance, a dedicated chauffeur and a door-to-door service.

So that you reach your return flight relaxed, we align the pick-up time in Täsch with your shuttle from Zermatt and plan a time buffer for the route through the Valais and towards Bern. This way you arrive at the terminal on time – whether for a scheduled flight or a follow-up appointment in Zurich.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the transfer from Zurich to Zermatt cost?

You pay a fixed flat rate, which you already receive with the booking confirmation – with no taxi meter and no hidden costs. The price depends on the chosen vehicle class and remains unchanged even in the event of traffic jams or a detour. Depending on the season, public holiday or special request, the base price may differ.

How long does the journey from Zurich to Zermatt take and how far is it?

Do you drive all the way into the village of Zermatt?

No. Zermatt is car-free, which is why private and chauffeur cars only drive as far as the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch, five kilometres before the village; the same rule applies to combustion-engine cars and electric cars. You cover the final leg into the village with the Zermatt-Shuttle (about twelve minutes) or with a licensed local electric taxi or your hotel's E-Shuttle right up to your accommodation. We arrange this connection in advance on request. We unload your luggage at the terminal and help you change over.

Can I bring ski equipment and several suitcases to Zermatt?

Yes. For skis, boards and plenty of or bulky luggage, we recommend the Mercedes V-Class with room for up to seven people along with their equipment. Simply state your luggage in the request, and we will provide the suitable vehicle.

Do you pick me up at Zurich Airport (ZRH) with Meet & Greet?

Of course. On this long route to Zermatt, the personal welcome is included: the chauffeur waits for you with a name sign in the arrivals hall, takes charge of your luggage and accompanies you to the vehicle. We track your flight in real time and adjust the pick-up time automatically.

Do you also offer the transfer from Zermatt to Zurich?

Yes. We collect you at the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch as soon as you have arrived by shuttle from Zermatt, and take you to Zurich Airport (ZRH) or to your preferred address. The return journey is also at a flat rate with a dedicated chauffeur and a door-to-door service.
