  • Hi! I plan to visit for 4 nights in August and would like to know if there is a guest card or another option to reduce the cost of the Seilbahns and trains, specifically the Gornergrat train and the Seilbahn going to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Thank you so much in advance!

    Unfortunately, Zermatt does not provide a guest card. Therefore we cannot offer you discounts for public transport and cable cars. Kind regards
