Getting to Zermatt (The Matterhorn)

Brig Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I go into deeper detail on my MySpace page... This trip I'm taking my 70 year old mom. We will staying in Hotels and B&B's. But my mind set is Hostel and cheep things to do. So I hope I can help everybody out with anything I can. I did the backpack thing in Europe in the summer of '99. So just ask and see if I can help.
Plan Properly: Arrive to Brig Early, or by midday. I got to Brig (the last train stop before Zermatt) at 10:30 pm. You need to take a tram to Zermatt from Brig. I'm not sure of the last tram out, but the first one out is about 6:00am.

The tram also doesn't accept Eurail, so buy a ticket in the train station prior to getting on the tram.

Brig is a small town. In all sense of the phrase. I saw two churches. One major shopping street. One city square. About four gas stations.
