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.

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! …
