For skiers and hikers flying into Zurich, a private car is the most direct way to the Matterhorn with luggage: one vehicle, the Lötschberg car train included in the route, and a drop-off right by the Täsch shuttle.
Private cars cannot enter Zermatt. We drop you at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch next to the luggage trolleys; many Zermatt hotels collect guests at the station with electric vehicles.
The driver takes the A1 to Bern and the A6 to Spiez, climbs to Kandersteg and crosses on the Lötschberg car train to Goppenstein, then drops to Visp and up the Matter valley. In about 3 h 30 min you are at the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch.
