Most of you will arrive in Zermatt by train. Here are some aids:

1. To get to Zermatt you must go through Brig Switzerland, unless you drive by car (Zermatt does not allow automobiles). Many Express or Intercity trains you take from one of the major airports in Europe go through Brig Switzerland.

The one way trip is approximately one hour 20 minutes duration and these tickets (BVZ) may be purchased at the train station in Brig. The BVZ concise timetable may be found (in English, German, or French) at http://www.bvz.ch/

3. Train schedules between major airports (for example: In Switzerland: Zurich, Basel (Bale) or Geneva (Genève) or in Germany: Frankfurt, in France: Paris, In Belgium: Brussels) and Brig may be investigated at the following websites:

• The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) (English, French or German)
